lyrics

Blink
Words and music: Boo Sutcliffe

More of the old man, less of the boy
This place is for watching the faces passing on by

Hey my companion, I’ll tell you no lies
Those clothes could stand up on their own
And they’re picking up flies

I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye

Of all empty places, on the afternoon’s cusp
This place will be rocking when I’ve slipped into the dusk

Your name’s on my fingers, I’ll tell what I must
If I’ve traced it once I’ve traced it ten times into the dust

I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye

All gone the summer song
The harder you listen, the sooner it’s gone
All gone the summer song
The sun’s getting colder, it won’t be long

One for your ambition; one for my own
All of those great expectations pared to the bone

I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye
I was only alone for the blink of an eye

We love the diversity of the styles on this album. We love that Tom has assembled this group of tracks! Of course, we love all the tracks, but our absolute favorite is "It's Alright to Feel It!" that allows folks to feel what they're feeling to help themselves feel better! Bruce Henderson
