lyrics

Everywhere I happen, everywhere I look
I see traits and colours of the face she took
Everywhere I'm looking for that woman
My imagination won't let go

And now the sun refuse to shine lest she turns up

Every lightpole we've passed, every doorway
Every seat we've claimed, every song I played
Everything reminds me of that woman
And how long I've waited to get near

She's a riddle for the ages, quiet and sly
Nobody could reveal what's in her eyes
I only wish there's something left to satisfy

She lends fall its beauty on the grayest day
Though she quells all matters all along her way
Anything I do anigh that woman
becomes only second hand priority

And now the days are incomplete lest she turns up

Don't know what she's got
But it hits so hard
Don't know what I'm doing
In around her yard
What would I not do for that woman
Though I wonder if she'd ever let me

She's a riddle for the ages, quiet and sly
I wish I could reveal what's in her eyes
I only wish there's something left to satisfy

Octave fuzz and plenty of swagger. Solid, surprising, catchy and replayable. Addendum: Ive replayed this many times now and each song becomes my favourite when it comes on now...Then the album is over far too quickly and I'm singing along with more and more of it and that's the best sign isn't it? A truly consistent, infectious listen. 🤘🤘 Doom King
