about

A blues shuffle/rockabilly footstomper about feeling lost and unwanted until reaching Alexandria.

lyrics

I was driving like I was on the run
Straight through the night till the morning sun
When I got to where I ended up I fell on my knees

I sat down and I penned a song
Wasn’t good but didn’t take to long
When I finished up I sang it for the falling leaves

Alexandria
Didn’t know what I wanted till I found ya
Wanna keep my arms around ya
till the late, late morning, early afternoon

Alexandria
You think I don’t understand ya
You think you burden me with your tails so tried & true
So tried & true

Home didn’t feel like a home no more
So I came knocking upon your door
I didn’t know what I was looking for
But I’m sure it’s found

You love was pure right from the root
My faith was weak it needed proof
To tell the truth it was all a lie
Till you came around

Alexandria
Didn’t know what I wanted till I found ya
Wanna keep my arms around ya
till the late, late morning, early afternoon

Alexandria
You think I don’t understand ya
You think you burden me with your tails so tried & true
So tried & true

I walked right on out that door
I’m sitting here now I’m wanting more
I tried to do up the score
I couldn’t do the math

It happened quick and it ended fast
If I’d only had an hourglass
I’d make the most of the moments that I knew would never last (with)

Alexandria
Didn’t know what I wanted till I found ya
Wanna keep my arms around ya
till the late, late morning, early afternoon

Alexandria

You think I don’t understand ya
You think you burden me with your tails so tried & true
So tried & true

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.
