Biography:
When Dublin alt-folk songwriters Kevin May and Mick Lynch of The Guggenheim Grotto first appeared on the U.S. scene in 2006, comparisons to Simon and Garfunkel dominated the critical landscape. With their two-part harmonies, folk-acoustic stylings and earnest pop songwriting, it seemed no one could resist.
Over the past four years, however, the duo has transcended the comparison – creating rich, multi-instrumental soundscapes. They dabble in synths and effects and radiate melancholic beauty.

C Em
When the world is wide, wicked and wild and watching my every move
F C
I gather thoughts of you and that's what lovers do.
C Em
You've said before when every act is a war and every shade, just another shade of blue
F C
you'd have me walk with you and that's what lovers do
-------------------------(Chorus)-------------------------
G Am
told you so, I'm in love with you....
G Am F C
told you so and I bet you love me too (whoa, yeah)
-------------------------(Chorus)-------------------------
C Em
When you go walking away with the wind and the waves and flirting with your feet,
F C
you take a part of me and that’s what lovers feel
C Em
And when you come upon a time and place sublime and it shows you something real
F C
you wish me there to see and that's what lovers feel (Chorus)
C Em
At a party I've thrown the morning has grown and someone's going your way
F C
you tell them you'd rather stay and that's what lovers say
C Em
So to the garden we go, quiet and slow and we watch the world awake
F C
you know I love you for loves sake, isn't that what lovers say? (Chorus 2xs, end on C)
