JaneLouie Absolutely beautiful album. It's been on repeat since it landed down here in Melbourne town! X Favorite track: Holding On (feat. Jeremy Moses Curtis).
yonbanme

yonbanme Mainly bc it’s built on love from folks whose music and poetry have been an anchor and flight path—the place by Billy’s side that they speak about is a place that sounds worth lingering, listening and looking out at the world from. Look forward to it.

PAUL KEMP judging by the opening song & the amazing songwriters & musicians involved, this album is a must have purchase for fans of proper music by real independent musicians.

Love Ain't Around It happened so fast My heart skipped a beat Breaking like glass It shakes me from sleep And I wake up by the TV saying These are the facts  This is the news I just had a nightmare I knew it’d come true Oh love ain’t around Love ain’t around when you’re gone Big doors and buses Two tracks and two trains One left too early One never came I go back  Enter silently I don’t read my mail I unplug the phone I can’t stand when it rings I’m afraid I’m alone Oh love ain’t around Love ain’t around when you’re gone I stand in the wind I scream it just smokes I call out your name I hear the rattle of bones Ashes and dust They say raise a toast They say you live still How come I feel like a ghost Oh love ain’t around Love ain’t around when you’re gone ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

Outside Inside I live like a beast most days Famine or feast I live like a beast Outside inside I try To lose myself but not to hide To tell the truth for this I lie Outside inside Don’t know the rules so I guess Outside’s so beautiful, inside’s a mess Babies crying everywhere and your Mama sings “It’s alright baby” your Mama sings Outside inside I try To lose myself but not to hide To tell the truth for this I lie Outside inside An eye for an eye now we’re half blind Broadside and halfway to the other side I never wrote the last verse didn’t care Outside snow flies, feel cold air Outside inside I try To lose myself but not to hide To tell the truth for this I lie Outside inside I live like a beast I live like a beast I live like a beast most days ©2023 Billy Conway/Elmer's Lid Music

Come With Me I remember a road that’s called to me Since I was ten Never even turned around Now I wanna go back again It won’t lead me home no And it won’t set me free But it‘ll hold me til I get back Maybe you would like to come with me I like to go way up north See the timberline Look out on an open field And let it clear my mind Maybe when the snow flies I’ll go down to the sea Stare out at the water Maybe you would like to come with me No I never thought of settling down Oh it’s too late for that I guess that road’s gonna find me No matter where I’m at The keys are in the front seat Yeah I hope you can drive Forget about the map let’s go Maybe we can go for a real long ride For a real long ride For a real long ride ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

Holding On It might be quiet but it’s not silent no It might be dark but I still feel your shadow You’ve got beliefs now you think that they’re hollow You’re holding on holding on and it hurts Holding on holding on You’re living in reverse Looking back at pictures you’ve seen before Avoiding doors for mirrors cuz you like them more Memories leave you where you lived before You’re holding on holding back Wearing out the same old track and it hurts Your kids are tired now they got a ways to go The ground’s on fire they never even notice no Can’t count on roots but that’s how things grow You’re holding on holding on Holding on, holding on ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

Quit Keeping Score The days are not numbered now Released from the plan The path is uncharted so No need for a map My smile has grown permanent A grin etched in my jaw From all that I got to hear And from all that I saw I’ve said it before I’ll say it again I quit keeping score I’ll just count on my friends So count me in boys Show me how does this go Let us play blindly now And forget what we know We’ve known love for a long long time And we’ve seen rainbows quite a few Looking forward to not looking back Still learning what we knew One day to add it up Two days to recount See what’s left in your loving cup Let’s go one more round I’ve said it before I’ll say it again Let’s quit keeping score Let’s just count on our friends My heart first and forward now But here is gone so just move it on Each little note is a gift to me One more beat to the song And I’ve said it before gonna say it again I quit keeping score I’ll just count on my friends ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

I Feel You Moving I can feel this city I can feel you out there movin’ I can see the color of your hair I feel you moving Feel the weather change and time stand still I see the beads of sweat drop down your neck I feel you moving Watch the traffic detour when it gets out of rhythm You gotta watch the way that you move Cuz I feel you movin’ baby The noise all stops it all gets clear The distant space and I can feel you here I feel you moving I can feel your heartbeat I can feel you breathing I can feel the other side of town I feel you moving The noise all stops and time stands still I see the beads of sweat dropping down your neck I feel you moving Feel the weather change and time stand still I see the beads of sweat that drop down your neck I can feel you moving I can feel you moving ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

Trouble in Heaven Big wheel come rolling down  My path someday Gonna make me move my kin down On the line Believe I'll keep off them demons If I pray real hard But I believe there might be  Trouble in heaven today Daniel be singing out  Over that mountainside Save your sweet spirit from going dry Daniel be singing 'bout  Where them angels fly But people don't listen  And I don't know why There might be trouble in heaven  And the Devil he's gonna pay Gonna put my worries  And troubles on hold Gotta clear out that Devil 'Fore it's judgement day  Don't want these troubles When I'm old Bridges to nowhere Snake oils and charms Cris-crosses and curses Blessings prayers and false alarms It would go a lot easier  If we just walked arm in arm You know I worry and I fret about The Devil in me 'Cause I've never known him  To leave me alone I keep thinking that Jesus And the Devil and me Can work this out before I'm gone There might be trouble in heaven  And the Devil he's gonna pay Gonna put my worries  And troubles on hold Gotta clear out that Devil 'Fore it's judgement day  Don't want these troubles When I'm old ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

After All I should live outside these walls I think I should I can do without alcohol I wish I could After all is said and done Nothing’s what happens most under the sun Just a few things matter at all after all I didn’t find this melody it found me keeps haunting me Tried to slam the door throw away the key won’t let me be After all is said and done Nothing belongs to me under the sun Just a few things matter at all after all Just a few things matter Just a few things matter Matter at all Mmm I should live outside these walls I think I should I can do without alcohol I think I should After all is said and done Nothing’s what happens most under the sun Just a few things matter at all after all Just a few things matter Just a few things matter Matter at all Just a few things matter Just a few things matter Matter at all Mmm ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

Once is Enough I could sit in this barn singing all night long Trying to remember the words to a simple song I heard you sing one time I wish I could hear it again Maybe once is enough We’re making tracks you said, the footprints tell you so I guess I knew that I’d be staying I guess you knew you’d have to go I heard you sing one time and I wish I could hear again Maybe once is enough He wrote a song for his mother at the age of 63 Wrapped it with a ribbon put it under the Christmas tree I heard that song one time I wish I could hear it again But maybe once is enough Booze, pills, and bibles and a war we couldn’t win Put a tombstone every mile now, the angels’ll hear them sing I heard that song one time I wish I could hear it again Maybe once is enough Maybe once maybe once maybe once I could sit in this barn singing all night long Trying to remember the words to a simple song I heard you sing one time I wish I could hear it again Maybe once is enough Maybe once maybe once just once ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

If I Had a Dollar If I had a dollar would you stay with me Go take a ride maybe go and see Might find nothing but a blowing breeze Empty handed at the edge of the sea If I had a dollar, if I had a dollar If I had a dollar and everything was free I wanna know would you stay with me If we could be lovers that would suit me fine Take all of yours have all of mine If we could be lovers that would suite me fine Pass the wine, pass the test Drink to you, you’re the best If we could be lovers, if we could be lovers If we could be lovers it would suit me fine And if we had a baby would we raise him right Would we let him be a lover would we let him fight Would we find the courage just to let him be Or turn him into images of you and me Just little bitty images of you and me Name him after you not after me After you, after you If I had a dollar, if I had a dollar If I had a dollar and everything was free I wanna know would you stay with me I wanna know would you stay with me Stay with me ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

Like Annette Like Annette the way she moves through me Like Annette uncanny she seems to be Like Annette whatever made me think That I could be just like Annette In the corner of a quiet room whispers what might have been I froze the more that I touched her Couldn’t feel it I’ll never forget In the mirror her lying grace looking back at me Forever dead forever together Together we’ll always be like Annette Just like Annette Like Annette If I could hold onto you like Annette I would wrap my arms around you And promise to bring to you more than material things I wish I could hold onto you Like Annette ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

Warmer Got a bucket of books Not enough time A mitt full of I don’t give a shit and a bottle of wine Gonna sit down here Catch a few rays Die on the vine and let gravity have its way We’re getting warmer When it’s hotter than hell heaven will be on your mind Horrible cold settled all wrong Snow’s all gone and the mud is moving under your feet Got a one eyed sky and a patient moon When the fireball hits it’ll hit way too soon We’re getting warmer Getting warmer We’re getting warmer Got a lot to say Tired of talking Car’s all broke and my feet are tired from walking Gonna sit down here Skip a few beats Watch it all burn and sit quietly by the heat We’re getting warmer Getting warmer We’re getting warmer When it’s hotter than hell heaven will be on your mind          We’re getting warmer Getting warmer ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

High Road If you take the high road  Beware the air is thin And it’s often crowded with sinners  Who forgot where they been You can take the high road Anywhere you go  Walk with me brother We’re all resting below Angels all around me now Singing over my bed You won’t see no halo Over my head There was a love we knew Somewhere some time ago So walk with me sister We’re all resting below Under the heavens Under the moon Under above below the love Is gone far too soon We’ll all go together And we’ll all sing alone Sing it out loud We know the words to this song We’re all gonna live We’re all gonna try It’s just saying hello Then saying goodbye You can take the high road ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music

Further On Ditch my rider before the end of the road Be gone before the gold Gracious at best When it’s my time I’ll rest Till then I’ll try and wake up with the dawn And it’s helpful to know The river will flow further on A little further on And the question at hand if I still give a damn Did I give back what I took And if I give a shit Can I freely admit I traded fairly in song I mighta come a long way but I still know to say I got a good long way to go good Steady on, steady on Stop listen and look It’s in a children’s book I got nothing to fear I’ll just take it from here I’m gonna go now Some place I don’t know how No shadow cast I guess I’ll disappear But it helps if you know The river will flow further on A little further on A little further on ©2023 Billy Conway / Elmer's Lid Music
