lyrics

I hear what my heart has told me
I'm happy, as the years have shown
I don't need arms to hold me
But it's cold when I'm here alone

All of my friends are hitchin'
But I've followed a path of my own
Can't spare no time for courtin'
Though it's cold when I'm here alone

You can keep your songs of righted wrongs
Of soulmates and chivalry
If "love is blind," then I don't mind
Missing out, so I can see

Someday romance will find me
It's not like I'm carved from stone
Don't send me names of potential flames
Though it's cold when I'm here alone

***

Keep your songs of righted wrongs
Of soulmates and chivalry
If "love is blind," then I don't mind
Missing out, so I can see

Someday romance will find me
It's not like I'm carved from stone
Don't send me names of potential flames
Though it's cold when I'm here alone

Latch Onto That Rhythm (Isolation Sessions #1)
by Michael Gamble and his Very Swinging Friends

Michael coordinated the recording of FOUR quarantine EPs this summer! You'll hear well-known swing musicians from across the US, and you'd almost believe it was recorded live in a club. Enjoy! Keenan McKenzie
