Blues with a second-line drum beat.

lyrics

I woke up this morning my long lost lover on my mind
I woke up this morning my long lost lover on my mind
She's the last thought and night time, damn right the first one in the morning light

I can hear my baby crying I can hear her tears and moans
I can hear my baby crying I can hear her tears and moans
I remember december when they told her that her daddy's gotta go

She didn't cry when she left me in fact I think she kinda smiled
She didn't cry when she left me in fact I think she kinda smiled
If my dear, cried a tear, it was a tear of a crocodile

Now I'm feeling kinda pointless like a train up off the track
Now I'm feeling kinda pointless like a train up off the track
That girl steps over me like a cigarette but in a sidewalk crack
(lordie that's a fact)

Whatever you once meant babe, now you mean nothing at all
Whatever you once meant babe, now you mean nothing at all
One day you'll close your eyes to see, I'm not a loser I'm just stuck inside the fall

about

Cranston Dean Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey

If you’ve never heard Cranston Dean perform before, you’re robbing yourself of an amazing experience. Dean’s voice takes you back to a time when the singer/songwriter played the bars of Asbury during the heydays of The Circuit, and blew people’s minds with their lyrical poetry.
