lyrics

We Stepped into forward
With our two heads in the clouds
Now we’ve lived, loved, and learned something of
The way that they handmade the crowd

But you’re on the mend
I’ll always be your very best friend
So long as you still care to pretend

We were born on the same pathway
In this town more simple than it’s name
Where the earth is made of clay and the seasons still change
And the river’s just the tide from the bay

But we came to a crossroads
I chose one and you again
And the wind filled our sails and it widened our trails
But could they ever meet up in the end?

But you’re on the mend
I’ll always be your very best friend
So long as you still care to pretend

You ever intelligent
You lived your life without just as well
Making friends with your charms holding this life in your arms
Like the embrace of a lover under your spell

Oh, but I, I was a bold one
I thought I knew Heaven from Sin
‘Till my sails caught fire and I knelt in the pyre
That was once everything

But you’re on the mend
I’ll always be your very best friend
So long as you still care to pretend

Alas, now forever together
Still afraid yet wizened by time
And I stll love the girl who holds the whole world
In the palm of that innocent smile
But you’re on the mend
I’ll shall remain your very best friend
So long as you still care to pretend

Do you still care to pretend?
Oh, come with me Adrienne
Make believe Adrienne

Newbold has been writing music and performing live for too damn long for this to be his debut record. Born in Petaluma, in the north SF Bay Area, the singing drummer has lived his entire life in various parts of CA playing in bands and serving the song to the best of his ability. His slippery grooves and musicality coupled with his gritty vocals often draw comparisons to his idol, Levon Helm. ... more
