Mystical Highways And The Golden Sun Picking Up Rays In Her Garden Mystical Highways And The Golden Sun I can feel it driving me there I can feel her pulling me back Mystical highways and the golden sun Picking up rays in her garden Drive by in the golden sun Your love’s skin is golden brown I miss you most some days at the strangest times I can feel her driving me there I can feel her pulling me back I can feel it pulling me there

In The Cards 04:02
Don’t make me choose Between me and you One sure to lose And we know Safe now to say That you’re feeling the wait More now each day Yeah I know Slow down it’s not in the cards, no Slow down cause it’s not helping you Slow down it’s not in the cards, no Slow down it’s not helping you I’ve tried to pretend That I don’t see where this ends Break now you can Or let it go Safe now to say It’s all gone away Never will pay For the crimes Slow down it’s not in the cards, no Slow down cause it’s not helping you Slow down it’s not in the cards, no Slow down it’s not helping you

Last time I saw you I called your name out loud Said tell me bout’ all your brother‘s plans from then to now They’re weighing heavy on your mind Weighing heavy all the time Life time weighing down your own, always gets in the way How you feel, how you feel about your love on a day to day There’s no one waiting there in line There’s no one waiting there this time Watch what you’re doing Falling to ruin my love Life is what you’re doing from tonight and on Last time I caught you You said oh stand by me now Stop me, lead me, help me, ride this moment out I feel I’m running out of time And I need you by my side Watch what you’re doing Falling to ruin my love Life is what you’re doing from tonight Watch what you’re doing Falling to ruin my love Life is what you’re doing from tonight and on

Got a tired old lie and it keeps me from myself Got a tired old lie and it’s down at the bottom of the well What do I, what should I do, do I call you on the phone I know the hour’s so late that you’d rather be alone I just stir in my head try and think of someone else But I know it’s not possible with nobody else Got a tried old lie and it keeps me from myself Got a tired old lie and it’s down at the bottom of the well But I’d rather beat on old love with nobody else I’d rather beat on old love till I’m undone Got a tired old lie Got a tired old lie Got a tired old lie Got a tired old lie Got a tired old lie and it keeps me from getting well No matter how much I drive my mind’s on nobody else Got a tired old lie and it keeps me from myself Got a tired old lie and it’s down at the bottom of the well

You’ve been runnin’ for your whole life Never time to think twice You’ve been runnin’ for it hold tight You got me runnin’ for my whole life Telling all your people it‘s change Breaking all the plans that you made You’ve been runnin’ for your whole life Got me runnin’ for it hold tight You’re just runnin’ from an old lie And you’ve been searching for this whole time Telling all your people it’s strange Someone ends up with all your blame Tell me it’s real and not just something you’d say Tell me it’s real and not just something you’d say Tell me it’s real and not just something you’d say Tell me it’s real and not just something you’d say Telling all your people it’s strange Someone ends up with all your blame Telling all your people it’s change Breaking all the plans that you made Tell me it’s real and not just something you’d say Tell me it’s real and not just something you’d say Tell me it’s real and not just something you’d say Tell me it’s real and not just something you’d say

It’s taken a toll on both of us So where from here Come in from the cold leave the steel to rust The sun will heal Stop trying to find somebody to change cause they won’t You’re trying to find somebody to blame and I know It’s not freeing me now it just takes a hold End far from here Don’t go losing me now man you’re in control Where from here Stop trying to find somebody to change cause they won’t You’re trying to find somebody to blame and I know Don’t tell me all the ways I can change cause I know You’re trying to find somebody to blame and I know
7.
Have you done anymore thinking bout’ a way to change my mind Have you done anymore thinking bout’ a way to get in sight You’re so far away and I don’t know what to do You’re so far away now what can I do No well I haven’t gone But I’ve been here way too long And I see what’s going down Have you done anymore shaking yeah you’re moving for the night Have you done anymore breaking got to get your feelings right Well it’s so hard to change and you don’t know what to do But you’re so far away now what can I do Oh what’s come over me Now I’m lost in your apathy And I see that wave coming down No well I haven’t gone But I’ve been here way too long And I see what’s going down Caught in the line I’ve been caught in the line I’m caught in the line I’ve been caught in line I’m losing my mind I’ve been caught in the line

The last thing I recall Before we lost control The last thing that I saw The buildings they did fall Say I’m never gonna give my time to nobody but you Cause it would just fall too short of living Fall too short of living Yeah you know you can’t talk her out of killing Talk her out Or fall too short The last thing I recall Before I lost it on The one that I once loved I saw her take the fall Say I’m never gonna give my love to nobody but you Cause it would just fall too short of living Fall too short of living Yeah you know you can’t fall too short of living Fall too short of living Yeah you know you can’t talk her out of killing Talk her out Or fall too short The last thing I recall Before we hit the wall The last thing that I saw The storm would take it all Say I’m never going to give my love to nobody but you Cause it would just fall too short of living Fall too short of living Yeah you know you can’t fall too short of living Fall too short of living Yeah you know you can’t fall too short of living Fall too short of living Yeah you know you can’t talk her out of killing Talk her out Or fall too short
9.
Sometimes find it hard to say That you are not the one to blame Someone else’s heart did break And set you on the run Say I’ll sort it out With or without I’ll sort it out With or without Sometimes find it hard to take On someone else’s pain and hate No one else for you I’d brake To set you on the run I’ll sort it out With or without I’ll sort it out With or without Sometimes find it hard to be without A little more I know I know

Tell your friends that it’s gone We packed it up and sealed it Tell your friends who to call Never once to feed it I’m beginning to notice now I’m beginning to know myself A little better now Tell your love she’s the one She more than once deserved it The rest all envying us Yeah more than once I’ve heard it I’m beginning to notice now I’m beginning to know myself A little better now Is it beginning to show That I never really knew her well Well I don’t know Well I don’t know Tell your friends that it’s lost And no one has been searching Tell your friends that it’s gone That nothing is for certain Nothing is for certain Nothing is for certain

about

Justin’s debut LP “Black Bay Nocturnes” features his plaintive and intimate songwriting framed by rustic, soulful grooves and a sound that calls to mind the works of M. Ward, Ron Sexsmith and Bill Withers.
