Don't Cry Not Here

from Just Sayin' Volume One by The Middle Americans

/

about

This sparse, haunting chord progression, made for the perfect background for Sarah Miranda Hegy’s poem “Don’t Cry, Not Here”. You can hear her reading another of her poems “Quarter Tomb”, to this same instrumental background on “Just Sayin Volume Two”. Erick Hovey

lyrics

You stood in the doorway your heart across my bed
You stood in the doorway your heart across my bed
This isn’t something you should fear
You know what I want
You know why I’m here
You are only as free as I want to believe
I’m not here to change your mind
Tonight you are mine
I take just as you begin to give
Don’t cry
You break just as I begin to live
Not here
You are only as young as I want to be
Don’t cry
Not here
Don’t cry
For tonight you are mine
You know what I want
You know why I’m here
You are only as young as I want to be
I’m not here to change your mind
For tonight you are mine
You are only as young as I want to be
You are only as free as I want to believe
Don’t cry
Not here
I’m not here to change your mind tonight you are mine
You are only as free
You are only as free as I want to be
Don’t cry
Not here
As I want to believe
Don’t cry
Not here
You stood in the doorway
You are only as young
Your heart across my bed
You know what I want
This is why I’m here
Yyou are only as free
I don’t need you to forgive me
As I want to be
I take just as you begin to give
You break just as I begin to live
Don’t cry
Don’t cry
Not here

about

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
