about
Part of the Bedroom Sessions, Autumn 2013. Just me, a mic, and a song.
lyrics
I could be a general and conquer every land
I'd set up camp in Paris and live in Notre Dame
And all the world would think me great, if only they could see
That ruling all the world ain't much if you're not here with me
I could be a traveller and sail the seven seas
I'd have a house in Amsterdam and one in New Orleans
A plane to take me anywhere, each day to some place new
But what's the point in going there if I'm not there with you?
It's not that I'm unhappy, I get by all by myself
But one's a lonely number, it can't multiply so well
But two, that's you and me my dear, we even out the odds
I could be myself one day and live in my own shoes
I'd have a place to call my own, a garden and a view
Pass my days beneath the sun and age like Tennessee
But what's the point in growing old if you're not here with me?
