lyrics

Leave your words on the floor
If you can’t fire them, who are they for?
Weapons are wasted if you can’t wear them to war
Hundreds of rounds, you won’t carry no more

It’s no skin off my nose
You never heard me coming and never let me go
Another string to my bow
You’ll live to tell the story, but now I’ll never know

With my tail between my legs, my hands cover my eyes
No more secrets to keep and no more long goodbyes

Hold onto your tongue
You scream about strength, my weakness weighs a ton
Empty your chambers and let your blades dull
Keep your voice still in your skull

Like rain seeps in the ground
Soaks in the soil not the feathers I found
Runs off, it drains away
Leaving me lighter, fixed, flown away

With my tail between my legs, my hands cover my eyes
No more secrets to keep and no more long goodbyes

about

Mr. Alec Bowman_Clarke image

Mr. Alec Bowman_Clarke Scotland, UK

"Alec perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals...'

Bandcamp Editors

"Blew my mind; unnerving & eerily comforting…"

Dean Jackson BBC Radio

"Bleak and personal, yet charming and humorous. Shades of Leonard Cohen with a contemporary English vibe."
