Recorded Live.

lyrics

Lonely I'd fallen into a forest of trees
cold, scared, and naked with a head full of bees.
And lovely you came in through a western clearing
free as a warm wind with a head of honey.
And I knew I hadn't made you from my ribs or my dreams
with not a thread on your back and just the sun on your knees.
God damn, you were perfect.
God damn what he'd do.

Inventing a language I thought you might read,
I brought my body closer to your body heat.
Man may have made fire, but woman taught it to breathe.
I may have thrown the sparks, but you were the leaves!
And we burned it all down and taught the stars how to write
a world warm and open with no fear of our skies.
We created what we wanted, made love and made life.
God knew it was true, he stayed so silent at night.
God damn, you were perfect.
God damn what he'd do.

Later getting angry in a fit of jealousy,
he packaged his wrath in his insecurity.
And he made us in his image, gave us doubt and deceit.
Said, "If you wanted Hell, well, you're comin' with me."
See I only made you 'cuz I was lonely,
but you can't love each other, you're supposed to love me!
God damn, you were perfect.
God damn what I do.
God damn, you were perfect.
God damn, what he'd do.

Leftmore Denver, Colorado

Leftmore is an indie acoustic rock act from Colorado, started in 2005 by Matthew Shaw and Joe Ziegler. Joe went solo from late in 2009 to early in 2014, one part story-teller, one part emotive melody, and at least one part human. Matt rejoined with Chris Doxtator on drums and Geoff Brent on bass guitar. The lineup now vacillates between the solo, duo, and quartet conditionally based on time-space. ... more
