lyrics
Oh you take, take, take what you need
then you hit the road
I shouldn't be surprised, that's how our story goes.
Time and time again, I've opened up my door,
even though I know it'll end with you walking out just like before.
Wish I could explain it, I wish I could change it, this hold you have over me oh it's not how love's supposed to be. I can't deny it, I've tried to fight it, but you pull me down like gravity and I seem to have a heart with no memory.
You can try, try, try an pretend
that it's different now.
Don't waste your words, it wouldn't matter anyhow.
Once I've seen your smile, once I've heard your voice,
I'd be a fool to act like I even have a choice.
If I could explain it, I wish I could change it, this hold you have over me oh it's not how love's supposed to be. I can't deny it, I've tried to fight it, but you pull me down like gravity and I seem to have a heart with
no memory.
No memory of the tears I've cried, no memory of the reasons why
I should've made you go and stay gone.
I feel your lips upon my neck, it's so easy to forget all the ways you've done me wrong.
So keep on, keep on, keep on and take, take, take what you need.
I can't explain it, I wish I could change it, this hold you have over me oh it's not how love's supposed to be. I can't deny it, I've tried to fight it, but you pull me down like gravity and I seem to have a heart with
no memory.

2018 Kerrville New Folk winner Sarah Morris’ endearingly honest, expertly penned songs deliberately miss the forest for the
trees. Armed with a poignantly relatable rainy day ache in her sunlit voice, she weaves a winding path of masterful storytelling and timeless Americana melody that invites audiences to join her in celebrating the magic of our everyday minutia....more

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
