Moving Me

Sorrow

He took off the little friendship charm
 he took off - he wore it ‘round his arm
for a while 
Now he says the color’s not his style

Sorrow, I’m guessing at your plans 
Sorrow, blow into your hands
before 
you start tearing at and pulling at my heart

You’re making me fall 
You’re making me fall 
You’re making me fall 
You’re making me fall 
When you’re tearing at and pulling at my heart

He packs up the pans that I once bought 
he packs up, the van is in the lot
it takes off
 to the city with the wide and open streets

Sorrow, I’m running off the rails 
Sorrow, cover up your nails before 
you start tearing at and pulling at my heart

You’re making me fall 
You’re making me fall
You’re making me fall 
you’re making me fall 
When you’re tearing at and pulling at my heart

Please don’t be as hard
 as he was soft 
Please don’t be as hard 
as he was soft
 when you’re scratching at 
tearing at
 scraping at 
and clawing at and grabbing at and jerking at 
when you’re tearing at  and pulling at my heart

I still hear him tiptoe up the stairs 
I still feel him brushing back the hair
from my face 
and now he’s gone
my heart is out of place

Kount Ur Blessingzz

it ain’t like it used to be
this town once belonged to you and me
I’ve turned a corner, nowhere bound
      honey I can’t turn back around

the stars were out, I missed my last train home
slowly through the evening we did roam
now the wind has changed, it rocks the shore,
and it won’t turn back no more

it’s funny you can’t seem to get enough
when you’re stumbling drunk on promises of love
now the nights are drawing in my dear
and something’s turned i fear

sweetheart if only we could choose
to lose our heads or lose our hearts
sweetheart if only we could know
whether to go
whether to start again

this ain’t how it used to be
remember how you took the weight off me
something’s turned inside, I found
honey can we turn back around
I don’t know if we can turn
not sure if I can turn
it back around

Something's Turned (live)

Follow You 

In this modern re-imagining of the greek myth where Orpheus goes to the underworld to find his love Eurydice, Lewin follows her love down into the Hades and hopes he'll follow her back up into the world of the living. But is his love for her as steady as her love for him? 

FOLLOW YOU
 
They took you from my side
just like that, in bed last night 
oh but I will follow you my love
 
Take the subway out of town 
find the place they took you down
oh I will follow you my love
 
You were my room, my bed
now I'm homesick for you lad
oh I will follow you my love
 
I'll bribe the boatsman, dear
pay him from my bag of tears
oh I will follow you my love
 
And I will follow you just like you would follow me
And I will follow you just like you would follow me
And I will follow you just like you would follow me
follow me down there
 
To the shadow king I'll sing
sing until his heart gives in
to let you follow me my love
 
“Oh take him up” he said
“Just swear you won't turn your head
and he will follow you, my love”
 
Our sneakers slip and slide
on our way towards the light
are you still following me my love?
 
Oh will you follow me just like I have followed you?
Oh will you follow me just like I have followed you?
 
Cause I I will follow you just like you would follow me
And I will follow you just like you would follow me
(follow you, follow me, follow you, follow me)
And I will follow you just like you would follow me
Follow me down...

Moving Me
