about
I have had the great pleasure of touring with Girlyman on several occasions over the last few years. Over time we were able to work out a few songs to play together. I want to thank my friends, Doris and Nate, for lending their voices and music to this track. (Thanks also to Ty Greenstein for sharing the stage and backing me up on Burning Bridges). As with the other live tracks on this record, I did not record this show with the intention of releasing it, a fact which is noticeable in the quality of the recording. In my opinion, however, that aspect is outweighed by the positive elements of the performances themselves.
lyrics
31 AND FALLING: Well you call again, as if I don’t know what you’re going to say….So let it ring, I can count the cracks in the ceiling all day long. I guess the birds they just went south, but I’ve got no where to go, it’s 31 and falling, I’ve been dreaming of you darling, in case you’d like to know… God damn my wasted time, ringing all the bells. If I could hold my tongue, just long enough to get me through the door then you won’t know… rewind the tape while your back is turned, fold my arms and pull the curtains closed, bury the roses in the backyard and darlin’ never mind what I might have said, before, before, God damn my wasted time, ringing all the bells…I’ve got half a mind to lie to you half a mind to tell you everything I have to tell, to tell, to tell. I’ve been wasting my time I know I know better, and I’m tired of waxing sentimental, I’m tired of saying please, please, tired of waiting, I’m tired of waiting. You call again, as if I don’t know what you’re going to say….
