Some Slender Rest

Biography:

Alternately explosive and restrained, the aptly titled The Bloom and the Blight is a meditation on past and present - melodic fury matched with the eloquent, confessional lyricism that has made Two Gallants an enduring favorite of both fans and critics.

Capturing the sound of a new beginning, The Bloom and the Blight celebrates the band’s much anticipated reunion following a multi-year break. It is the work of Two Gallants, fully matured, the band fearlessly exploring new ground in search of a sound that defines a very personal catharsis.

C G F
And I'm a go make my bed
C
Tuck in the other side
G F
These confessions are mine
C
But I'll not claim a word

C
This restless parade
F
Yes I watched it go by
C
Through the cracks in my palm
G
Seen them all gone
C
Some sequence of lives

C
Well she calls out alone
F
With the pain in her voice
C
It's the wound of betrayal
G
It's the weapon of choice

C
Left her heart on display
F
Though that she'll deny
C
Two tattoos of skin
G
One of ice one of tin
C C7
For the days have gone by

Am F C
But I ain't one to reminisce
Am F C G
But close my heart and clench my fists

C
Now the days swiftly pass
F
With the chest full of fear
C
Here the minutes are hours
G
But the moments are years

C
And old acquaintances passed
F
In trios in pairs
C
And if they stay or they go
G
One struggles to know
C C7
One struggles to care

Am F C
But out beyond the Ten Tree walls
Am F C
The wind blows hard the highway crawls

Am F C G
And if you should pass the James Hotel
Am C G F
Please stop in for I knew you well
Am F C
But that was oh so long ago
Am F C G
And I never learned how to let go

C
But when you fear your own faults
F
And you're sick of this life
C
When you're reckless of hand
G
And trembling the knife
C
And all your doors prefer locks
F
And your death prefers spoons
C G
Why wouldn't you wait one last laugh at fate
C C7
Forever's too soon

Am F C
But across the field death bell knells
Am F C
Listen close hear the toll tell

Am F C G
To run and tell my darling true
Am C
My breath is short
G F
My days are few
Am G
So please come down
F G
And take my hand
Am G
My last demand
Am F C
And lead me to some slender rest
Am F C G
And please dismiss what I confess
