lyrics

It’s all quiet now at the end of the day
I unpacked my suitcase and put the dishes away
It’s not hard to stay busy, I got so much to do
If I stop I’ll get caught with the things that I’m not saying to you

I heard you been travelin’ heard you’re doin’ all right
That you got some new girlfriend, moving on with your life
But I’m still full of questions do you wonder too
Do you still save a spot for the things that I’m not saying to you

I block it out, I play pretend
I write you letters that I can’t send
I get so tired of doing what’s right
I don’t wanna be tongue-tied the rest of my life

I bought a new car and I moved to LA
There’s just something about it, I don’t care what they say
I can walk in the sunshine on the days I feel blue
It’s the best place I got to escape what I’m not saying to you

I block it out, I play pretend
I write you letters that I can’t send
I still know your number, this could be the night
But I don’t want to be tongue-tied the rest of my life

I needed to fly and I needed to grow
I ain’t tellin’ you nothin’ you don’t already know
But I still keep you with me - we both know it’s true
No I haven’t forgot all the things that I’m not saying to you
No I haven’t forgot all the things that I’m not saying to you

about

Alice Howe image

Alice Howe Boston, Massachusetts

To hear Alice Howe sing is to be enraptured by the natural, unaffected beauty of her voice. There’s no artifice, no histrionics — just honest, authentic, emotionally resonant singing in the tradition of the roots music that shaped her.

Her second and latest album, Circumstance, was recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals and produced by her creative partner Freebo (Bonnie Raitt). ... more
