about

This is the lead single from a record slated for January 2018 release.

lyrics

Pausing in the glow of the evening
like every pile of rock has got a river straight through it
Looking for a place to make a phone call,
listening to the sound of flowers blooming

I was born to work
I was born to try
to pull down my shirt
to ease my mind

Wishing I would call it like I see it
Wishing I would grovel like I blew it
Because every conversation is a phone call
and every time I leave it's still how I knew it

I was born to work
I was born to try
to pull down my shirt
to ease my mind

I was born to work
like a newborn child
to pull down my shirt
to stay up all night
