lyrics

When were down by Ezra Vancil

We used to watch the sun going down
Over the cedar trees
You used to watch the world going round over me
I used to call you up sometimes
when no one seemed to care
You came around with those angel eyes
and the flowers in your hair
And when I felt you breaking
well you know I was right there by your side
And when you felt me fading
You just looked me in the eye
and you pulled my lonely feet back to the ground
But when we're down
Who will turn this love around
Oh when we're down

We're not the ones to run and hide from
We're not the enemy
We're just two parts in the same great mystery

Come maybe we will answer the sound
wrestling in our brains
Someday baby we will dance to the rhythm of the pain
And when you feel you're sinking
You can stand up on my shoulders high
And when you feel me fading
you just look me in the eye
And you pull my lonely feet back to the ground
But when we're down
who will turn this love around
Oh when we're down
I want to fly
I want to sing
of your sweet generosity
I want to climb
I want to be here
to see your sweet love come over me
Come over me and you

But when we're down
who will turn this love around
Oh when we're down

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
