ALWAYS CRAWLIN' BACK TO YOU (mix 1​/​scratch vocal)

from "LEAD ON, KINDLY LIGHT" & "THIS WORLD & ONE MORE" (2020) by Bill Mallonee

about

Still under construction, but wanted to share.
Urgent song. showed up & was recorded quickly.
1 guitar part, vocal, bass, drums and a lovely, melodic lap steel.
(Some folks know I've been learning lap steel o'er the last couple years...)
Love where this went.
The outro is high desert lonesome all the way....
best,
bill

lyrics

ALWAYS CRAWLING BACK TO YOU
w&m: bill mallonee admin BMI 2018

You can vanish like the rain in the heat of the west
Where the sun shines like silver from the hottest furnace
You can come out a ghost after the test
and i'm always crawling back to you
always crawling back to you

It's this dance that we do out on the floor
In my better moments, it's you I adore
But such moments are fleeting and if you're keeping score
I'm always crawling back to you
always crawling back to you

Now, I've doubted my words and I've doubted my deeds
But I never have doubted this deep, aching need
Holdin' out like i do with an ace up my sleeve
I'm always crawling back to you
always crawling back to you

Bridge:
The wind shakes the branches, the tides never sleep
The Spirit broods over the face of the deep
there's no gold you can save, there's no secrets you'll keep

We all come to the cross-roads at about the same place
with the lives that we live and the ones that we waste
On the banks of a River called Amazing Grace
and I'm always crawling back to you
always crawling back to you
