lyrics

Would you believe my luck? I thought I'd see you here
I can't help but suspect your quota's once a year
You lead me on with that "what cheer?"
I'll chew it up despite my fear
You got your wingtip shoes
Walking blues
Elusive in the summer but you're leaving clues
Should've thought, if caught, that's what you'd do

Yesterday was warm; today is colder
What happened to the nights when you would look over your shoulder?
Left me dumb when I dared to be bolder
So please let my transmission through and tell me what you want to do

I threw a "Hail Mary," tried being frank
Can't shoot you through the heart; you only loaded blanks
I guess I've only got myself to thank
Cause mine's not the first ship you sank
Do what you want
Debutante
Don't let cynic's lyrics stop your nonchalance
Cause many men have minds you've yet to haunt

Yesterday was warm; today is colder
What happened to the nights when you would look over your shoulder?
Left me dumb, when I dared to be bolder
I hope my growing doubt's not right, that you were full of shit that night

April--Was it? --On the floor
The only light streamed through the door
Tiles cold came tiles warm
But layers still concealed your core
And they've been there all year
But know you're here
Should we run a second trial sometime near?
We can't if mine's a voice you cannot hear

Yesterday was warm; today is colder
What happened to the nights when you would look over your shoulder?
Left me dumb, when I dared to be bolder
So don't say we should spend some time if waiting to's a waste of mine

Plumes Boston, Massachusetts

Plumes is Ben Long (on the drums!) Tim Green and John Thorsen. Music- listening to it, learning to play it, writing more of it- has been one of few things we've taken really seriously for the last 7 years. These songs grew through many late nights and missed appointments. Our songs are all really about something. It's sincere and sometimes naked. Hope you like it ... more
