the air is sweet
there’s a breeze 
blowing in off the sea

the moon is high
sun has set
but i’m not done with you yet

A rowdy take on reuniting, Live from the Main Pub, Manchester, CT 3/20/2015... 

never thought you would 
wake up in my arms again
been apart for so long

I thought we could make up
and maybe just be friends
but this love was too strong

baby tonight
we can taste this sweet surprise
baby tonight 
you can close your lonesome eyes
we can close these lonesome eyes
we can close these lonesome eyes

Time goes by, some things change, some stay the same 
Sometimes its a crying shame

You showed me around, turned my world upside down
So glad you came

Chorus

I never thought you would 
wake up in my arms again
been apart for so long

I thought we could make up
and maybe just be friends
but this love is too strong

Chorus 
you can close your lonesome eyes

A Texas Blues Shuffle morphs into The Legend of the Boston Gigspedition... 

I’m real gone Mama, I’m real gone Pa
I’m real gone baby, down to New Orleans
aint waiting for morning, I aint waiting for light 
I’m leaving here mama in the middle of the night
I’m riding that highway, I’m riding that highway
Down to New Orleans

I was not born to live to work to die
I’m leaving here mama, on a midnight high
I might win and I might loose, but I’m lea-ving here any time I choose
I’m riding that highway, I’m riding that highway, down to New Orleans (3x)

Don’t follow me baby, don’t follow me down
I’ll send for you darlin when my deal comes round
Love me baby, one last time, drop for me baby on the nickel and dime
I’m riding that highway, I’m riding that highway, down to New Orleans (3x)

I might live, I might die, I’m going down drinking whiskey and rye
I might win, I might loose, but im leaving here any time I choose
I’m riding that highway (x4) down to New Orleans (Snap Crackle Pop)


The show is over
there’s nowhere to go
didn’t move the merchandise
might not make it home

didn’t want to tell you 
cause i’m too proud
my head is hurting 
cause we played too loud

but its all right; baby its ok
long as we live to play another day... 
its all right if its not too late 
baby wont you let me stay

Closed the club 
Moved it outside
Party in the parking lot 
everybody's getting high

If it gets too late 
We’ll sleep in the van
Keep one eye on the gear and a
look out for the man

The lights are on
but theres nobody home 
It doesn’t seem fair 
when you’re all alone

If it gets too late 
We’ll sleep in the van
Keep one eye on the gear and a
look out for the man
Loop Chorus and Out

Lonesome Eyes

SepiaTone is an American alternative rock band based in the CT River Valley. The band is the latest vehicle of local singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ike Hammond. Like the curled edges and warm hues of your favorite old photograph, these songs transport the listener to another time and place. Put on like a wedding suit, somewhere between the high-planes drifter and the birth-of-the-cool metro-intellectual, this tight ensemble weaves searchlight imagery with mysterious shadow play, evoking the great American dream’s sonic landscape. Equal parts country-simple storytelling and esoteric cerebral illusion.
