A glorious love song of devotion with a tough backbeat and tight rhythms. This track features the powerful voice of J. Hoard and the ripping guitar solo is courtesy of Rubycon (aka Ian Turner). Produced by Elijah Tucker and Rubycon, boogie down to this release from Elijah's "Hey Day" album.
lyrics
After the hands have gone up and come down
After all that round and round
You're still there, sitting in that chair
Making that ancient sound
A little like the moan 'neath the city pines
A little like a groan amid happy times
You tell me you won't give it away for free
What do I have to pay to play?
See, I'm a man hunting for the finest things
Girl, with your secrets and your bird that sings
I'll be searching for you out on every stage
Sing songs to you from every age
Numbers keep rising on my pressure gauge
For you I suffer arrows and slings
Outrageous fortune when you open your mouth
A sea of trouble too, there is no doubt
Still I listen to you, hope I'm kissing you soon
'Cause you are what it's all about
See, I'm a man hunting for the finest things
Girl, with your secrets and your bird that sings
I'll be searching for you out on every stage
Sing songs to you from every age
Numbers keep rising on my pressure gauge
For you I suffer arrows and slings
Because you are the quarry of kings!
Outrageous fortune when you open your mouth
A sea of trouble too, there is no doubt
Still I listen to you, hope I'm kissing you soon
'Cause you are what it's all about
