about

Sarah Heagy said this poem of hers was about getting carried away and had chosen “wasted” as an alternative title. The chord changes and melody came easily once I identified the 3 lines that would become the chorus and hook.

lyrics

I lift my ears as they wander away, where did you find me
Id attempt to see the deceit, I have an awful feeling, you stand more sensible
You’re the kind of stranger that smiles back
You can wash your hands, in the cool breeze, and wrap your mind, in the foul seas
I will never trust you, I will never trust you, I will never trust you, again
There is everything in between, that’s more wasted than before
Forward now fall back, all thoughts concern, don’t stay, run from me
The man around the corner with his head bowed
A white river that flows the wrong way, why do you test me
You can wash your hands, in the cool breeze, and wrap your mind, in the foul seas
I will never trust you, I will never trust you, I will never trust you, again
Once the vicar wins, I see the small small details
A tightrope we all walk along, some fall to either side
Cause it’s too short to show, what really matters now
Well isn’t that something, isn’t it just clouds passing
You can wash your hands, in the cool breeze, and wrap your mind, in the foul seas
I will never trust you, I will never trust you, I will never trust you, again
I will never trust you, I will never trust you, I will never trust you, again

Erick Hovey and Friends image

Erick Hovey and Friends Fort Dodge, Iowa

Erick Hovey's music is peppered with seasonings of blues, roots rock, jazz, funk, old power trio rock, reggae, and newer folk fusion styles. His lyrical content has not only good humored nods towards classic blues and rock clichés’, but spans the afterlife, and existentialism as well. Sometimes it’s spooky, sometimes it’s raw, spiritual, and sensual. Think Mark Knopfler, JJ Cale, and Peter Green. ... more
