I just love this song from the latest Sam Phillips CD, “A Boot and a Shoe.” It’s become for me one of those songs you get hooked into. The simple production, strings, lovely-floating-haunting melody and thoughtful lyrics work so well. It reminds me a bit of something I might have written (lyrically) before the song nazi’s polluted my brain. I think I may have to actually break down and learn this one. As difficult as it is for me to learn someone else’s songs, I’m gonna give this one a whirl and see if I can play it without butchering in too much.
Sam Phillips - Reflecting Light
Now that I’ve worn out, I’ve worn out the world
I’m on my knees in facination
Looking through the night
And the moon’s never seen me before
But I’m reflecting light
I rode the pain down, got off and looked up
Looked into your eyes
The loss opened windows, all around
My dark heart lit up the skies
Now that I’ve worn out, I’ve worn out the world
I’m on my knees in facination
Looking through the night
And the moon’s never seen me before
But I’m reflecting light
(break)
Give up the ground, under your feet
Hold on to nothing for good
Turn and run at the mean dogs chasing you
Stand alone and missunderstood
Now that I’ve worn out, I’ve worn out the world
I’m on my knees in facination
Looking through the night
And the moon’s never seen me before
But I’m reflecting light
