10) The Closer II
 
I feel like I’m broken down again.
I feel like you’ve hit the ground.
I feel like I’ve made the sound of it…
I feel like I’m lost at sea again.
Just a different ocean,
a different way of losing direction. 
I think that this ancient guitar wont do. It just wont do.
So please find a way, Away from this pain,
And I’ll sing, every line for you.
Please find yourself. Know that I miss you.
I would do…anything for you.
You know the drill this has happened before.
The ironic part is I don’t remember stepping out of your doorway.
I wish I could just see your face.
I miss your face.
So please find a way, Away from this pain,
And I will sing, every line for you.
Please find yourself, know that I miss you.
I would do…Anything For You
You found my shore. Now I’m here forever.
So please find a way. Away from this pain.
I will sing, every line for you.
Please find yourself, know that I miss you.
I would do…anything for you.
This songs for you
This songs for you
This songs for you
I’d do…anything for you.
The Tourist Lyrics
 
 
The Closer was a song that ended all of the 8sl shows.  It was called ‘The Closer’ initially because it was just that.   The closing song for the evening.   When 8sl went through a lineup change, Jamey Gleaves brought in this wicked guitar line that I threw some lyrics on top of.  It was a balls to the wall rock song.  I can’t scream my ass off with an acoustic like a can with a full out rock band, so I completely rearranged the song leaving in tact only the lyrics, basic melody, and some of the feeling that I felt when I sang it those summer nights.   Its as honest a statement as any I’ve ever sung.
