lyrics

I WON'T LET YOU DOWN

The mirror of your bureau leans as it had before
Reflecting on a bed where now lays an empty floor
Your doorway is lamp-lit and aching with some kind of invitation
But you stand there with the curtains pulled down around your body like some final decision
But I won't let you down I won't let you down
I'll never let you drop to your knees for me
Just put your ear to the ground
'Cause I won't let you down I won't let you down

Whatever keeps you warm and lets you sleep tonight
I must guess it's the dress the windows wrap you in with moonlight
I'll lay on this naked floor and wait for you
And watch your eyes close slowly sadly from across the room
And I won't let you down I won't let you down
And if by midnight I'm gone I swear I'll be back by dawn
'Cause I won't let you down I won't let you down

about

Graham Lindsey montana

Known for the dark, raw, stripped-down approach he takes to American roots and folk, Graham Lindsey's music has been said to fall somewhere in the middle of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and 'if Gillian Welch had a male counterpart,' while following in the traditions of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. But, it does so with plenty of his own punk rock sensibilities in tact.
