Lies and Dynamite

from Hard Frost by Annie Keating

/

lyrics

Preston park after dark I’m burying a broken heart
With your kisses my wishes and the truth

I still remember Arkansas
You were hot and cold like an April thaw
stole my colors except heartbreak blue

CHORUS
Lies and dynamite
Your broke down reasons still don’t make it right
Lies and dynamite
Love don’t get out alive

Classic car swollen stars
The days are long night seems far off
Tell me was any of it true

Instead of bluebells and butterflies
I got red flags ignored every sign
Washed out by the river that was you

CHORUS
Lies and dynamite
Your broke down reasons still don’t make it right
Lies and dynamite
Love don’t get out alive

Now its New York City in the fall
Graffiti covering every wall
Of the buildings on the block outside my room

Forgiveness may be a state of grace
But there’s just some things you can’t erase
it’s like diving in a shallow backyard pool

CHORUS
Lies and dynamite
Your broke down reasons still don’t make it right
Lies and dynamite
Love don’t get out alive

Lucinda Williams. John Prine. Bob Dylan. Allison Krauss. Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt. Emmylou Harris - A short list of the musicians Keating has been compared to. She writes and sings like a woman who knows that heartache is the price of hope, and she can make us believe -- in that way that only the best artists can -- that all of it is worth the cost. ... more
