about

"..expertly produced by Ed Harcourt at his Wolf Cabin Studios, capturing the essence of a challenging romantic journey through poignant lyrics and intricate string arrangements.." TUNESAROUND

"Also of note is Dadry’s poetic lyricism. He paints a picture with words in such vivid detail that even the amazing musical production can’t overshadow his voice and storytelling..." BUZZY BAND

lyrics

LYRICS
I wanna see you but I need to stay in tonight
Don't wanna kiss the dirt just like in a fight
I create beauty and sadness
Only a poison pen can cross out this mess

Which sins are you destroying now
The evidence speaks to me from the pyre
I won't tell a soul no way no how
Just be sure you don't fall right into the fire

I'm your misty hazy crescent eyes
Meet me after dark we can play I spy
At the end of the road we won't feel so cold
Got the money we saved in this coat that I made

On Saturday I'll be at your door
Leave the lightbulb glowing as we lay on the floor
My poncho hangs out in the field
On scarecrow shoulders black feathers have healed

I'm your misty hazy crescent eyes
Meet me after dark we can play I spy
At the end of the road we won't feel so cold
Got the money we saved in this coat that I made

I wanna see you but I need to stay in tonight
Don't wanna kiss the dirt just like in a fight
Wanna see you but I need to stay in tonight
Don't wanna kiss the dirt just like in my last fight
