lyrics

Wish I could go back, just turn around, follow the train tracks to Rose's house
See these city towers, the way they pierce the sky, in these final hours, I wonder why
See my reflection, is it reflecting danger, oh how this city will turn you into a stranger

I'm going down to Rose Marie's house, where she opens wide like the rivers mouth
Drinking cheap red wine on the outskirts of town, staying up all night and working it out

I used to know how to get there, but I paid the cost, see it's the in-betweenness where I get lost
If you lose it one time, bet you'll lose it again, you gotta find out, what's worth finding

I'm going down to Rose Marie's house, where she opens wide like the rivers mouth
Drinking cheap red wine on the outskirts of town, staying up all night and working it out

Sometimes I wake up, right back in that place, something like a mirage when I reach for her face
Wander the railways in the early morn, inside my heart is a raging storm
Was a kiss goodbye, in the muddy rain, why oh why do I drive them away

Wish I was going down to Rose Marie's house, where she opens wide like the rivers mouth
Drinking cheap red wine on the outskirts of town, staying up all night and working it out

Sweet sweet reverence, sweet memory, she was my Kamala when she came to me
No sense in chasing what's no longer there, just disappear into thin air
Wish I could go back, but it's too late now, to walk the old tracks to Rose's house

I'm going down to Rose Marie's house, where she opens wide like the rivers mouth
Drinking cheap red wine on the outskirts of town, staying up all night and working love out
Staying up all night and working love out

Joe Nolan Edmonton, Alberta

Cry Baby's 10-song collection is a trip through melancholic madness, touching on darkness & depression, broken relationships & endless booze-fuelled evenings. Yet at its core is Nolan’s unwavering strength as a lyricist, & his wounded-heart delivery that reminds us of our humanity. It's, in essence, Nolan unapologetically sharing his story, & through that finding a second chance & a new beginning. ... more
