lyrics

There are mountaintops that always stay above the clouds and only see the sun,
And no shroud can ever cover them no matter how dark or how long,
If only I could train my mind to be above the weather at all times,
But then again the darker days were the very thing that started me to climb,

If you can fly up through a sea of clouds and come out on a heaven on high,
Could there be another tier beyond security and fear for which to strive,
Oh to take a shot at something it’s better than just a-waiting ‘round to die,
You may not see it from below when you’re a lost bird, honey open up your eyes,

Why do I waste my time in thinking,
When my mind’s already made up,
My head has chained my heart to pain,
Soon the open door will shut,
So be my love and wish me goodbye and good luck,

I take a shot at optimism, point my compass straight up to the sky,
But holding doubt and indecision I feel my heart’s too heavy to ever fly,
So I’ll write another ballad as if to shed the ballast with a sigh,
But while I’m weighted down commiseration songs are all that I can write.

Why do I waste my time in thinking,
When my mind’s already made up,
My head has chained my heart to pain,
Soon the open door will shut,
So be my love and wish me goodbye and good luck,

Why do I waste my time in thinking,
When my mind’s already made up,
My head has chained my heart to pain,
Soon the open door will shut,
So be my love and wish me goodbye and good luck,
Be my love and wish me goodbye,
Be my love and wish me goodbye and good luck.

Miles Calder Wellington, New Zealand

Singer/songwriter Miles Calder delivers cutting lyrics with an expressive voice. A few years since the last outings with former backing band The Rumours, Miles has emerged with a revived sound, fresh songs and a new band. His new self-reflective songs move from understated folk-rock to swirling psychedelia, evoking early 70s Lennon as much as contemporaries like Kevin Morby or Father John Misty. ... more
