Two Shores

I was lost between two shores
When I saw your hand reaching to me
And I was wandering between the walls
Holding fast with anyone who took me
And I’m told it’s a time
Where everyone is lost in seeing
Waiting here
Isn’t so bad
But maybe its best I head away
Crossing a line
That’s clearly drawn
But not really clear
To me anyway
I’ll sing, sing for you
Of the tales of trails we’ve taken
And I’m told this is the time
Where everyone else is lost in seeing
Waiting here
Isn’t so bad
But maybe its best I head away
Crossing a line That’s clearly drawn
But not really clear
To me anyway

Gun

And you got yourself a gun
You’ve got nowhere to run
There’s nowhere you can hide
You’re an angel but with dead eyes
Up North the cold is good
And the night is understood
The evening light it cannot hold
My broken heart, my hair unfolds as it falls
And you got yourself a gun
You’ve got nowhere to run
You’re an angel but with dead eyes
My broken heart, my hair unfolds as it falls

Dusty Plain

I was lost
A dusty plain
Couldn’t remember who I was
Remember my name
Then you found me
You said lets get you home
Another lost cause
What could it be
The winter sun
Is calling me
Now I don’t know
Why I had to go
And I turned to face
That road that went straight to the gate
That leads home
Or takes you away from Love
Away from Love
I should have know
Away from love
Away from home

Forget Me Not

Trees in the yard
Remembering Spring
Clouds drift by
Seen such pleasant things
And I’m here in this room
Thinking of you
The noise from the street
Seems uneasily calm
All we have left after
The passing storm
And I’m here in this room
Thinking of you
Needle slowly drifts
On the old 45
Scratches & hiss
Like memories of life
And I’m here in this room
Thinking of you
Crooked old pictures
That hang off the wall
Carpet-less hallways
With nails on the floor
And I’m here in this room
Thinking of you
Strumming a tune
On this guitar
Thinking of words
And where you are
And I’m here in this room
Thinking of you
Think of your eyes
Shining like stars
Dancing all night
To Brazilian guitars
And I’m here in this room
Thinking of you
Holding your hand
Softly in mine
Swaying in darkness
To our own sweet time
And I’m here in this room
Thinking of you
Slowly today
Turns into night
Your memory bathes me
In it’s warm light
And I’m here in this room
Thinking of you

LITTLE SPARTA are a London based three piece featuring Alan D. Boyd, Susie Honeyman and Scott
Skinner.
Described as ‘bittersweet and unpretentious’ by Pitchfork (7/10) for their first release Scalpel Slice (Fire Records) the band have continued to explore the out of the ordinary while maintaining the ‘Elegant, waning violins and craggy folkisms..” (NME) that have come to define their sound.
