One Room

from Travelogue by Slim Dime

/

about

Original Track "One Room" is a murder ballad – foul and dark – a true displeasure to create, a song that pursues like a drunkard desperate for a dram. From The Album, "Travelogue" - 13 songs, captured by an awesome collection of vintage microphones. The songs are new, original but sound as though they’ve always existed, somewhere on a mountaintop……

Slim Dime are Jen Land – vocals & tenor guitar & Chris Taylor – vocals & guitar & banjo.

lyrics

One Room

And the night comes rollin’ in
creepin’ up the valley walls
the chill creeps in my bones
as the darkness quietly falls

Do I see a blade
that yr holdin’ in yr fist?
Do I hear those words
from the lips that I have kissed?
And the wind begins to blow
howlin’ in the trees
yr not smilin’ now
as yr down there on yr knees

Darlin’ when I found you
like an angel from above
you & me we fit each other
tighter than a glove
And the flowers start to bloom
on the mountainside
the days are getting’ longer
and yr right there by my side

The promises we made
were golden in the light
sugar candy melting in the
sweetness of our height
And the nights are hot & close
the days are long & bright
I can’t see my edges anymore
in the night

When we went out dancin’
you held me oh so tight
but yr eyes they were roamin’
to the left & to the right
And the leaves begin to fall
all golden, red & bright
everything is falling apart
in my mind

You say that you love me
that I’m the only one
last time you were lyin’
so I gots me a gun
And the rain begins to fall
on the roof above my head
crimson tide is risin’
up the walls of my shed

The silence spreads in waves
unbroken in the night
the moon she rises slowly
up the dark blue mountainside
