lyrics

Once upon a time I had a name
The highway was open
I knew where I was going
Lost along the way and that's a shame

Lovers come and go and still I roam
Tender words were spoken
That left my heart broken
Fold me in your arms and take me home

Chorus/bridge:

Your laughter's like a waterfall
Your hands could hold the key
I'll linger in my darkest hour
Beneath your shady tree

20 years ago I was man
Trials and tribulations
Lovers and relations
Stormy weather winds I could not stand

Fire in my veins has grown cold
No rhyme, no reason
No bright shining beacon
Nothing that I touch turns to gold

Chorus

The road to hell is paved with good intent
Thought I knew what I was doing
In the end we're only human
When the devil calls pay the rent

about

Brother Spellbinder San Francisco, California

Well crafted songs with old world ache and modern angst. The best music defies any strict definition. But suffice it to say that Brother Spellbinder combine various musical textures into something melodic, otherworldly, and yet earthy and tangible.
