lyrics

Every day I visit the graveyard
To think on a life that is so hard
Take flowers for strangers I never knew

Every night I go to my best friend
Who opens the door and takes me in
I can’t remember her name but I never do

Take me down, take me down
Under the dwindling stars
To the banks of the river I come from
Pass me round pass me round
To the whiskey soaked bars
Til I’m chasing the morning sun from a broke down dream

There was a time when we coulda been best friends
My lover, my savior until the end
But I blew it all up like I always do

Now I’m drowning in water so deep
Far from the shore and the safety
Trying to cope with the things that I always knew

Take me down, take me down
Under the dwindling stars
To the banks of the river I come from
Pass me round pass me round
To the whiskey soaked bars
Til I’m chasing the morning sun from a broke down dream

Pull down the shades throw away the phone
Another night being on my own
Chasing shadows down the hall
Crawl into bed and turn out the light
Pour a new drink and prepare for the fight
Wanting to run when I’m trying to crawl

Take me down, take me down
Under the dwindling stars
To the banks of the river I come from
Pass me round pass me round
To the whiskey soaked bars
Til I’m chasing the morning sun

Take me down, take me down
Under the dwindling stars
To the banks of the river I come from
Pass me round pass me round
To the whiskey soaked bars
Til I’m chasing the morning sun from a broke down dream

Til I’m chasing the morning sun
I’ll be chasing the morning sun
Til I’m chasing the morning sun from a broke down dream

about

The Nineteen Twenty New York, New York

The Nineteen Twenty formed in early 2020 out of a need for connection. A conversation backstage at a theater about a songwriting collaboration was brought to life remotely by the COVID-19. Over 4 months, they wrote, recorded, and produced without ever being in the same room together, using the internet to create a sound that is a mix of both their unique musical styles and sensibilities. ... more
