lyrics

Watch your grill on a windy night,
when you’ve been drinkin’ or lest you might
Fall asleep before, the lonesome night consumes you.
Must have been a terrible sight.
Must have made for an awful night
To call 911, but it’s too late to save you.
Where did you go when you drew your last breath?
What is this thing we call death?
You’d have so much to say, you know I’d love to hear it.
Hey, I’m alright, I can see you tonight
The smoke’s all gone but the smell remains
This world spins so fast, and nothing you can think of ever lasts
But I will think of you, when the lilacs bloom again
Ronny baby, you missed a lot
Too much to tell and I’ve forgot
More memories, then you ever got to know
You missed The Cubs finally win it all
Skipped the scene when those towers fell
You missed everything, and the beat keeps grooving on
You missed the part when you’re all alone
In a prison built of flesh and bone
And the long decay, that winds down soft and low
Hey, I’m alright, I can see you tonight
The smoke’s all gone but the smell remains
This world spins so fast, and nothing you can think of ever lasts
But I will think of you, when the lilacs bloom again
I got your bass guitar fixed just last week
plays so fine, her voice still speaks
She’s a charred and soulful, honest faded glory.
The luthier he did inquire:
“Was this instrument in a fire?”
And I just smiled, and said “It’s a long story”.
Where do we go when we’re through down here?
Or is it Fade to Black, for a trillion years?
I got no reception, so I guess we’ll catch up later…
Hey, I’m alright, I can see you tonight
The smoke’s all gone but the smell remains
This world spins so fast, and nothing you can think of ever lasts
But I will think of you, when the lilacs bloom again

Corduroy Cat is an all-original 4-piece band based in the Chicagoland area. Formed in 2019, as the brainchild of singer, Dan Doherty, (guitar, piano) who was soon joined by Bob Poole on bass, Marv Doolin on guitar and Kalyan Pathak on drums.

Their debut album 10% Hopeful is a genre-defying, modern-day song cycle depicting a journey emerging from a dream, into darkness then back into the light. ... more
