lyrics

Paradise by Ezra Vancil

It’s another day in paradise
it’s another day to shine
but I don’t feel so nice
and I don’t feel so kind
but you know me,
can you help me understand
it’s another day to shoot the breeze
with some of my old friends
but all those memories I don’t wanna
bring ‘em up again it get me thinking
of a better time
But I’ll keep on running till I’m through
when the sun is burning
and I’m feeling blue
I’ll keep on running running
till I’m caught up with you
Someone needs to turn me over
and get me out of bed
cause I could sleep a thousand years
and you might think I’m dead but I’m dreamin
it’s just a nice place to be
Sometimes I wonder why
I get up my friend
for something else to come along
and knock me down again
but it figures,
cause it’s a rotating world
But I’ll keep on running till I’m through
when the earth is turning
and I’m longing for you
I’ll keep on running running,
till I’m caught up with you
And if nothing comes about
in twenty years I’m all worn out
how can I give up on the truth
I’ll keep on running running
till I’m through

My responsibilities grow heavier each day
and all these thoughts and dreams
keep getting in the way
but I’m dreaming,
I’m still dreaming of your face
I’ll keep on running
till I’m caught up with you

Easy On My Mind
by Kelley McRae

It's a great Americana mood album. I played a show and camped with this duo at Kerrville Folk Festival and they are also great people with a powerful live presence. ezra vancil

Ran into this on the ISC awards.. great feeling to the sonics of this recording. The sonics of it are what I come back to listen to.. it doesn't hurt that the songs are also fantastic trips. ezra vancil
