lyrics

It's the love in your mouth when she finally home
Why couldn't you speak to your friends?
Is it that you don't trust them?
Or is it the look that she gives at the door
As she jumps in your arms
Right off the floor

I used to talk in sleep to girls who stayed in my bed
Just stupid little dreams
That segue from nothing
Now they nest at her breast
With the easy breath she lets out
It's what I think they wanted all along

Keep telling lies she said
See how far they get you with me
And it's not very far
I know it's not very far
I don't care if you cry she said
You can lean on my shoulder baby
Never thought I'd say baby
Here we are saying baby

Any church in the middle of any midwestern town
Couldn't ring truer than this
Even if you boiled out the nonsense
That's a vision of truth
That you reach with a crutch
From a book
But I've got the real thing

Keep telling lies she said
See how far they get you with me
And it's not very far
I know it's not very far
I don't care if you cry she said
You can lean on my shoulder baby
Never thought I'd say baby
Here we are saying baby

Joseph Mooradian Nashville, Tennessee

Joseph writes all the time and records some of the time.

His recent collection, Hummer, is about shootings, smiling, the plummeting bird population, laughing, and even (unfortunately/briefly) politics.

When he’s not writing/recording, he keeps busy in Nashville, TN, with domestic life: reading, walking, working on his house, cooking/eating, and watching plenty of stuff.
