about

'Cities Like Lovers' is the first single from the forthcoming album 'In The Rubble', set to release September 10, 2022. Featuring a cast of phenomenal BC musicians on banjo, fiddle, mandolin and upright bass, this track adds traditional old-time flavour to the eclectic folk album.

lyrics

I've been wandering through the streets, searching for a place to call home
I could stay or I could go, but I'd be leaving all I know
Now I wander through the trees, searching for some air to breathe
I could stay or I could go, but I'd be leaving all I know
Need a place to love and a place to cry, a place to lay my roots but still fly

I could be a farmer, tending to the land
Seasons move around me but so steadily I stand
but I am just a wayfarer, rambling through the hills
I can't be a farmer, I cannot stay still
Need a place to love and a place to cry, a place to lay my roots but still fly

I could be a mother, nursing my wee babe
Endless love surrounds me as my nights blur into days
but I've got so much love that's stretched across this precious land
I can't be a mother, I don't know who I am
Need a place to love and a place to cry, a place to lay my roots but still fly
Need a place to love and a place to cry, a place to lay my roots but still fly
Cities, like lovers
Cities, like lovers
Cities, like lovers
Could never be everything to me
I've been wandering through the streets, searching for a place to call home.
