Song For You 03:51
I know you thought that we were broken And that you'd never be missed But know with all that has happened There's so much love clenched in our fists But here we stand, don't let go As you lean in, I'll whisper in your ear, so so clear If I wrote a song for you, Tell me just what'd you do To give me a chance to say, Just how much you mean to me If I wrote a song for you X2 A pen to paper means nothing So I mailed you a cup on a string I placed my lips upon the other I plucked a note and began to sing But here we stand, don't let go As you lean in, I'll whisper in your ear, so so clearly If I wrote a song for you, Tell me just what'd you do To give me a chance to say, Just how much you mean to me If I wrote it all for you, To tell you the way I do To promise you every day, That you are my everything If I wrote a song for you X2 The words I promised you someday (so come on and sing) We make the chances we get (so come on and sing) But here I'm singing your memory (so come on and sing) These chords won't let me forget And still I sing If I wrote a song for you, Tell me just what'd you do To give me a chance to say, Just how much you mean to me If I wrote it all for you, To tell you the way I do To promise you every day, That you are my everything If I wrote a song for you X4

The Grey 03:54
In a humid little southern town Beside the creek where the children play With the dark about to settle down The young 'Sippi seemed to lose her way Run home Georgia, Papa's waiting for you Nobody stopped to help the girl who cried They heard the laughing and walked away It would pass right across their eyes Blindfolded by their southern ways Run home Georgia Pour me a glass from your finest tiers Tonight, tonight we'll skip the meals ­My hunger lies elsewhere Tonight, tonight I have no fear Well the father took upon himself To show them boys how debt'd be paid Grabbed the whisky and the gun on the shelf Taught the boys the American way Run home Georgia Pour me a glass from your finest tiers Tonight, tonight we'll skip the meals ­My hunger lies elsewhere Tonight, tonight I have no fear In a world coloured black and white The father knew what the judge would say Two boys born of rich and right Against a poor a Mississippi slave Who says when the system's tight You won't live to see another day Two boys born of rich and right Against a poor a Mississippi Pour me a glass from your finest tiers Tonight, tonight we'll skip the meals ­My hunger lies elsewhere Tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight I have no fear

about

Of Gentlemen & Cowards Hamilton, Ontario

Formed in 2010, the band has seen ups and downs, including an appearance on Late Night With David Letterman and an ill-fated cruise ship gig that both broke the band’s heart and yet transformed their sound into a more soulful one. Through it all, Of Gentlemen & Cowards persevered, and this young band’s brand of optimistic, well-crafted soulful rock is borne from its experiences, both good and bad. ... more
