Lyrics to It Starts With A Lie
It Starts With A Lie Video:
This song I wrote with guitarist John Leventhal. It reminds me of an African rhythm meets an Irish lyric. If it were a film it would be black & white and in grainy tones.

----------------------------------------

Walkin on shells and stones by the water
to find somethin that was mine
You who walked with me are so far away
I realized there's no further distance than time
I saw your face I looked for your face in the sea
Out in the harbor a sail silhouetted deep in my heart
I thought you were comin for me I reached out
to touch you It wasn't a lie when I called
If it wasn't true when I told you I loved you
It starts with a lie after all

I saw you wake alone in the morning
you opened the window to see Out in the dark
a storm all around us Light in the clouds
in the light do you ever see me
I reached out to touch you
It wasn't a lie when I called
If it wasn't rue when I told you I loved you
Then it starts with a lie after all

Watchin
Standin
Standin up close to the wall
Standin without you
Standin alone with no shadow at all

Walkin alone over stones by the water
feeling the wet of the rain Echoes of footsteps
vanish in darkness They disappear
along with the sound of my name
I reached out to touch you
It wasn't a lie when I called
If it wasn't true when I told you I loved you
It starts with a lie after all
I reached out to touch you
It wasn't a lie when I called
If it wasn't true when I told you I loved you
It starts with a lie after all
Yes it starts with a lie after all
No it wasn't a lie after all
