lyrics

ON & ON

when you gonna recognize the weight you hold, baby?
the places your words go
drowning deep in a dreaming soul
that’s heavy laden with a longing, baby
to give you everything
give and forgive you,
move and bend within you
and you?
have you ever hurt the way you hurt, babe?
have the words you gave hastily
ever broke your heart and left you needing more
than a hellish dream could leave you pleading, babe?
have you ever begged?
laid your dreams down at his feet?
and only you keep dragging this thing on and on, on and on

when you gonna shake yourself out from the dream, baby?
cause whether or not you want it to,
what you do and don’t do
there’s ripples in the wake of you
you don’t wanna hurt nobody, baby
but your sweet words stretch the pain
dragging out a bitter end
and you?
have you ever felt the dose you give, baby?
felt every touch and every glance
every moment as your chance for things to change
wracked your brain, turned your friends away?
no matter how wise, how known, how strong, how bold
a broken heart leaves pride disposed
and you, keep dragging this thing on and on, on and on

have you ever been hurt the way you hurt, baby?
felt every touch and every glance
every moment as your chance

it’s easy to say, hard to do
giving love, giving the whole truth
on and on

Age of Apathy
by Aoife O'Donovan

supported by 4 fans who also own “On & On”

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
