about

There were several versions of this song before finally settling on this one which we still love.

lyrics

Sympathy Deep © Tony King

The look on your face tells a story
are you wounded and lonely again
why do you knock when you still have a key
come inside out of the rain
This reminds me when we were lovers
and the tears that used to be mine
now all we have is each other
and the salty taste of the wine
And you love me whenever I need you
and I’ll love you until you’re asleep
Sometimes the love that will save you
only needs to be sympathy deep
Why do we leave ourselves open
for the jackboots of love to walk in
just to wipe their feet on our secrets
and the next day forget where they’ve been
Can I come in and play on your piano
and we’ll sing ourselves back from the dead
cause I know you’ll be gone in the morning
with a little more peace in your head
And you love me whenever I need you
and I’ll love you until you’re asleep
Sometimes the love that will save you
only needs to be sympathy deep
Sometimes it feels like the future
is as delicate as a thread
and the strongest thing in the universe
is somebody touching your head.

about

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
