Altitudes (live, La Cana, Tokyo, Japan, 2008)

from Wisely Live - Tokyo Doki​-​Doki by Willie Wisely

lyrics

Some call her quiet, others call her just plain weird
We hooked up in England days before she disappeared
Well love has a way of crushing those I’ve known
I thought I was strong, I wanted her to maintain control

In her altitude

These stones can’t wake her, hear them tick my window pane
Her lights burn bright, can't she recognize my name
Well you’re not the first to show me your scars of war
Go ahead shatter the glass, imagine what I'll use it for

In her altitudes
Miles beyond you
Altitudes

I visit her father silent in his wheel chair
Told him I knew what he'd done to her sophomore year
"Well someday sir, the dreamers will cage the ghost"
Pressing my face into the hollow of her throat
Oh everybody knows by now
You’re never going to pin her down

In her altitude
Miles beyond you
My circles confound you
Altitudes
Miles beyond you
Oh I’ll never amount to much
Altitude
Altitudes
I’m in my altitudes

about

Willie Wisely Saint Paul, Minnesota

Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon resident/devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing profound power pop with arena-sized showmanship, a troubadour on an all night rave up, a cold kombucha on a hot California day, a McCartney-ite taking a break from his Japanese import of “Ram” for a quick Canyon run listening to João Gilberto. ... more
