lyrics

The moon comes up outside my window
Rising in an autumn sky
Silhouettes cast on the street
Hide the cracks seen in the light
Deeper dark comes on like tide
Washes over paints out light
Eyes accustom to the gloom
Lines just seem to slip away
I just want to get away for a while
No matter how small the problem
Just leave it behind
Run find somewhere to hide
Wash my hands let obligation slip away

Woke this morning claustrophe
Had to leave to find some space
Have some time on my own
Clear my head with cleansing rain
Ringing bells still follow me
Dusty cobwebs, curtains drawn
I want to leave them all behind
I just can't seem to slip away

Just go for a while won't stay very long
Let me be here on my own
Pride always comes before a fall
Fallen once you don't trust anymore
Like scudding clouds across the sky
I just want to slip away

The brush of darkness holds me fast
Shadowed body with a nameless face
Evening wind blows through cobwebs
Clearing all left by the rain
Only the hide and seeking moon
Sees my coated fingers now
Alright for a while at least
Still need some time to slip away

Wob UK

Acoustic Country/folk Punk probably describes me best at the moment

"A spring heeled, iron lunged avalanche of energy and melody.
Wob's sound is a glorious and intelligent blend of punk, pop and folk."
