lyrics

Tempest Winds
I’ve been making through my days without much vigor
And the evening’s been the picture of my soul
Gray and filled with restless consternation
A pressing darkness that I can’t pretend to know
And I feel the weight of my humble world upon me
And the burden of this bright light I must hold
to the candle of illuminated plans so close at hand
A condition of my own design, I know

And the devils drum their roll as I make out now
And the lords of erudition drill their holes
From a prison to a dream
I’ve been paroled to make quick of
So there isn’t any time to follow rules
And I know that I’ve not earned the right
to one of these demands
And I know that I’m not making any friends
And I revere the calluses of working hands
their mortal brands
But I can’t make up for the time I spent a fool

Cause this is the thing
this is the thing, this is the thing
And it’s the same
it is the same
Don’t you know it’s the same?
So I don’t need to climb your ladders
I just need to soar
And the tempest winds are beating on my door

So if I lash out won’t you forgive the burn, please?
I am giving every end of me I can
And it’s not two and three
It’s four and five and six and more
But I’m sure my wits can stand the coming winds
So find me on that morning standing naked
And casting all my guilt out into them
If I’m not there don’t wait for me
Because I won’t be coming home
If they’ll have me
I will carry on with them

Coralee Nashville, Tennessee

"Coralee and the Townies are a Lexington, Kentucky based band of a genre they’ve self-defined as Honky Tonk Soul, and it’s a fitting description, as the sextet whoops and weeps with traditional authenticity and contemporary energy, with Coralee’s husky vocals front and center and the Townies providing a righteous, raucous rootenanny soundtrack around her." ~Brian Baker (CityBeat) ... more
