Right Where You Found Me

I’m about done losing
I’m about done losing my mind
It seems there’s no choosing
It seems there no reason
It seems there is no rhyme
I’ve been walking under
Ive been walking under the radar on this giant sphere
I’ve been holding my breath. Been shivering to death
Can anybody hear
————-
CHORUS
All this time it moves around me
Shift my gears and takes away the years
Yet here i am
Right where you found me
Oh so very long ago
————
The quantum people say
We can be in many places at once
I don’t know if we can feel it but I swear that I could feel it at least a time or two
I know there’s no going back
5 10 20 years can feel like a horrendous gut punch
But everyday that I am waking is a step that I am taking to that mountain top
CHORUS

Another Time

I think I knew you from another time
When everything was right with the world
If there ever really was such a time
Ever was a time I'd remember you girl
Blown out like a porch light in a hurricane
Nothing much left but the dark and the doom
When we deceive we receive what will be coming down
Til that time we continue to consume
hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm
hmm hmm hmm hmmmmmm
hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm
hmm hmm hmm hmmmmmm
hmmm hmm
Yesterday I was a nervous child
And you were the howling wind
is there anyway we can pretend
that you and i are where this all begins
head west, headlong and horse drawn
into the promise of a guiding beam
where everything is laid out for you
everything is just what it seems

Forgive my trespasses
My many faults
The secret desires
locked in this vault
Try to make ends meet
and still make amends
Ask if I'm a good person
The answer depends
To whom you are talking
The circumstance
Was it a barroom brawl
Or that one last dance
The shape thats in the shadows
The bob and the weave
Inadequate reasons
For why I had to leave
CHORUS
And on and on and on it goes
And where it stops nobody knows
I'll leave you here just like a Rose forever in full bloom
And if we meet again someday
on the street I'll stop to say
You were the one that got away
The one that I wouldn't let in
The one that I couldn't let in
I took you for granted
You took it to heart
Coked out Casanova
Who knew well his part
I believed all the hype
The tale I had spun
Left hung out to dry
Before we begun
To notice a problem
To think what to do
I was adolescent
Not deserving of you
You suffered in silence
Til the day I was gone
Seems you never grew tired
Of me doing you wrong
CHORUS
|

|
Over and over we go down this path
Failing to comprehend the aftermath
Even as we face what seems an impossible task
Evasive of the questions that we need to ask
CHORUS
This is our home
We're on our own
We've outgrown everything we've known
The earth will be here long after we are gone
Rocking on the porch looking back with a laugh
Thought you had my number couldn’t have been more wrong
Best made plans lay on the floor broken in half
CHORUS
Numbers on a spreadsheet
Data in the stream
Is that what comes down to
For a human being
I want to see your face
Don't want to be bought and sold
I think it’s long past time
to take off this blindfold
CHORUS

In the Evening Glow
04:31
|
|||
|
You lead and I will follow you
Crack in the wall, gonna get through
The most in everything that I do
And on we go
And on we go
Break in the silence here
Face to face with every single fear
Impaled upon your best friend's spear
I'll Never know
Never say No
CHORUS
Thunder roars at the gates of hell
Such a bargain was your soul to sell
Under guard under his spell
Even so
The Seeds you sow
Brace yourself for the night
It will swallow you up along with the light
The colour's drained from your face, you put up one helluva fight
Your bruises show
in the evening glow
Break
chorus
You fell apart then you fell into my arms
I wasn't long falling for your charms
Lifted the veil sounded the alarms
True feelings show
In the evening glow

Down Here
05:51
|

|
Down here
Where the rubber meets the road
no good deed goes unpunished
stories seldom get told
where the person that you are
Isn’t who you appear to be
No matter how you try
You can’t face reality
Down here
Where the air's a bit too thick
Where you're beating back the zombies
With your ugly stick
There's nowhere left to turn
No point in trying to hide
Tomorrow’s a Missing person
Victim of a homicide
Down Here
Down here
You can’t be serious
There’s a crack in the soil
I can see the earths crust
Lava bubbles and it boils
flames as high they’ve been
I’d like to ask the question
But don’t want to cause a scene
Down here
Where you don’t have to think
You just laugh and point
Pretend your shit don’t stink
Pins your hopes on the stock market
Play the lottery
Dream the capitalist dream
Circumvent monotony
CHORUS
Down here
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
Down here
I’m just trying to focus on this day I’m getting through
Oh oh oh oh oh
Down here
We tell ourselves lies
Like everything will be okay
Good things come to he who tries
Everyone has a fair shot
An equal chance
Diluted like the pages
Of a harlequin romance
Down here
We’re all livestock
work hard to get ahead
We all know that’s a crock
Only so many silver spoons
To go around
If you ain’t never seen the water
Hard to think you gonna drown
Down here
Down here
There'll be a changing of the guard
peasants are about to rise
Refuse to live so hard
We want our share
We want to fill our cup
40 years of trickle down
Now it’s time to trickle up
Down here
Chorus
Down here
You know what we have to do
Down here
It’s time for that light to shine on through.

Something Real
07:54
|
|||
|
Flying on the edge of darkness
Straining to get a glimpse of the light
Can you live a life without purpose
Can you give up without a fight
When the enemy is in the shadows
The only thing you feel or see
When the truth is always the wrong answer
When Facts are made by order of decree
We want Love we want life we want liberty
And justice for one and all
Put a business suit on a tyrant
And say prosperity will come to call
Who’s prospering around here? I don’t see much of that. All I see is a hopeless tide
You keep saying work hard it will be alright. I call that propping up an age old lie
Is anything real
Is anything real
Is anything real
The bank says don’t pay until later
But the interest will keep piling on high
Business as usual when nothing is usual
A practice nobody seems to decry
I’m falling you’re falling we’re falling
One way trip down into the abyss
Looking for some kind of sign this ain’t all just a dream
Is anything real
Is anything real
I want something real
Tomorrow is the answer to the questions we all have
Hang onto each other
Hang onto the love
I’m falling you’re falling we’re falling
We pull each other up out of this
I’m dreaming you’re dreaming we’re dreaming
A better day is gonna come
And the change will be real
Yeah the change will be real
I want something real

Tom Savage Kingston, Ontario
Tom Savage is what one might refer to as a triple-threat. One part truth-telling troubadour, one part death-defying guitar slinger, and one part Country Blues howler. Each facet of his formidable on-stage persona carefully crafted over a 20+ year devotion to the composition and performance of song. Tom is a true believer. A disciple of melody and harmony and tempo and timbre. ... more
Tom Savage recommends:
Foolish Frank
by Frontier Folk Nebraska
This is some good ol' fashioned rock and roll! Nice hooks with the right amount of garage band roughness.
go to album
This is what an album should be. A collection of songs that, when placed in a particular order, create a fulfilling listening experience, far greater than that of the individual pieces of music.
