lyrics

i’m gonna beg for your forgiveness
i’m gonna do that from the start
Gonna need you as a witness
though you may have a hardened heart
Have I always been a sinner
or did the world pick me apart
can I somehow be put together
Sometime today cause life is short

Deacon Phillips can you hear me
My dear old man now are you there
I think my train is off the railing
Is there some way to get it clear

My heart my god it’s full of stars
and oo don’t you know don’t you know
you brought a demon to the dark

I’m in the darkness somewhere shivering
paralyzed because of fear
Been this way now since the 80s
That’s when I started with the beer
Just to help me whip the tremors
Liquor keeps me even keeled
the powder gets me through the night time
And all my day time friends are pills
Swore I’d never touch the needle
But it pricked me just the same
Started following the money
And everything is just a game
Mr. Phillips can you hear me
My dear old man now are you there
Feels just like the world is ending
Is there some way to get it clear

My heart my god it’s full of stars
and oo don’t you know don’t you know
You brought a demon to the dark
(x3)

Face Your Fear
by Curtis Harding

supported by 22 fans who also own “Demon To The Dark”

So. damn. awesome! Mind completely blown by this album. I jumped in to Curtis Harding's complete discography on the strength of this release and I was not disappointed: thoroughly modern R&B with a classic Motown vibe. Just wow. Other favourite tracks include "Face Your Fear", "Need Your Love", "As I Am", and the brilliantly hysterical " Till the End". Birdienumnums
