Will Knox records his song 'Riverside' with Timur Yusef and Chris Anderson. Performed at the Handsome Lady Records Clubhouse, Brooklyn NY with a single microphone and tape machine.

lyrics

I'm going home to see my friend,
In a chapel town on the bank of the river-bend,
Where nothings bright but everything's pale,
And a brewer's breeze fills a riverman's sails.

The graveyard's gums have grown new teeth
Pretty new pearls adorned by pretty new wreaths
I twist my tongue and you bends my ear
Light another cigarette, and tell me you had a bad year.

Slip in through Ivy Stones
Familiar faces I don't know
Channel Wine, bitter Pride
Resigned to Satisfied,
Drown these thoughts by the Riverside.

The River Ink composes poems
Her bridges break and the boatmen punctuate
She teaches me through tides and wakes
Her words are ripples her waves are Frost and Blake

Slip in through Ivy Stones
Familiar faces I don't know
Channel Wine, bitter Pride
Resigned to Satisfied,
Drown these thoughts by the riverside

I'm going home to see my friend,
In a chapel town on the bank of the river-bend.
I twist my tongue and you bend my ear
light another cigarette & tell me you had a bad year.
