lyrics

I’ve got some walk left in my feet
Though my knees are gonna catch
I dreamed about the two of us
wand’ring the snowy Noquamenon

I hear the chorus in the distance
Singing muted tones
Vying just to return
to their well-heated homes

And why did I
Long to go
And why should I
Dive when I can’t swim
So I will wait
To paint the blue eyes in the snow.
I thought you ought to know

The hazy city lights
have a deep warming glow
I wrap the coat my grandfather gave me
Tight around my bones

And why did I
Long to go
And why should I
Dive when I can’t swim
So I will wait
To paint the blue eyes in the snow.
I thought you ought to know

about

Alex Cowles Marquette, Michigan

Self-described as “sad boy music,” or "musical poetry." I take on acoustic guitar fingerpicking with a punk mentality and jazz influences. My lyrics strike a balance between darkness and positivity, never shying away from reality.
