lyrics

I could've downed a dozen Old-Fashioneds
I could've downed a dozen like they do when they want to feel true
I could've downed a dozen but I didn't
I've got things to do

And it's last call at the bar in my head
The numbers on the jukebox are still flashing red
The tab has been drowned, you're nowhere around
So I'll write a song so maybe you'll come back

I could've told a story about the sun

I could've told a story of driftwood and pebbles and waves
I could've told a story of how's the river

Of how the treaty's in graves

And it's last call at the bar in my head
The talk has been circling 'round folks long since dead
The temperature's lean, you're nowhere to be seen
So I'll write a song so maybe you'll come back

And it's last call at the bar in my head

I'm telling this woman of something I'd read
My eyes are cast down, you're nowhere to be found
So I'll write a song so maybe

I could've loved a little closer to home
I could've loved a little slower to show

I could've loved a little lighter, a little softer
A little more in my place

And it's last call at the bar in my head
I pull up my coat for the walk to my bed
I'm a stranger tonight, you're nowhere in sight
So tomorrow, I'll write a song

about

West My Friend Victoria, British Columbia

In the modern musical landscape, it’s rare to hear something as put-together as three-piece Cascadian folk outfit West My Friend - something so layered, deeply symphonic, baroque, and mysterious in its own winking way while still courting an edge of disaster. Simple is safe, but complex is fiery, intricate, and ultimately more rewarding. ... more
