Whimsical country song about a guy trying to convince his long-term lover to forgive a recent transgression, take him back and return to the moment.
I play all instruments and sing (weakly!)
Just me right now, recently started recording.
Story behind the song
Long-term committed lovers face an "existential crisis" when a lovers quarrel threatens to break them apart.
Lyrics
Stubborn as a gulf-coast heat wave, you refused to let us go
Remember what we built together, all those ups and downs.
When it started to un-tether, we made smiles out of frowns.
Won't you please take me back, Ernestine
Our little scene,...... we can't un - do
Yea, we can leave broken dreams, Ernestine
And turn these gray skies back into blue
I won't pretend to be the one who'll set you free
D' ya believe you'll live forever? Squandered moments take their toll.
We can warm this night together or let the cold past keep control
Won't you please take me back, Ernestine
Our little scene,...... we can't un - do
We can leave broken dreams, Ernestine,
And turn these gray skies back into blue....
Yeah we can leave broken dreams Ernestine.......
With all to gain and nothing left to lose!
