Dry Eyes
(Andrew Combs, Burton Collins)
Chunk of Coal Publishing (SESAC) / Burton B. Collins Publishing (SESAC)
Your pretty lies, they still blind me
Keep me dreaming of the sunshine
Your witchy ways, they still find me
Casting spells inside my mind
Oh, you’re crawling in my head
I still feel your body in my bed
Dry eyes
Dry eyes
Dry eyes
You left your tears there at the altar
You never cared enough to tell me why
I should’ve known when I heard you falter
You said I do when you should’ve said goodbye
Oh, I hate that you don’t even know
Where all the broken people go
Dry eyes
Dry eyes
Dry eyes
I curse the colors that surround me
Nothing but shades of blue
I pray that gravity may ground me
And crush all these memories of you
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
A vibrant vision of "Central Americana" from the Costa Rica-based artist, blending heartland devotionals with playful Tropicália grooves. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2022
He is masterful on the piano. Robert Ellis writes songs that grab your attention and are very well written and often times catchy and witty. I love the fact he mostly used the piano on this one. I wish more artists followed this pattern. Yimmy Kil
