"Home To You" by Otis Mace

(lyrics to track #1 from "Two Black Cats EP" on POWERTOOL RECORDS)

 

Not a Basque with a bomb
Not a serial garroter
Not a charismatic evangelist

Not the ghost of Christmas past

Could keep me from your side 
Could sway me from your ride
Or make me break my stride 

As I'm walking home to you

No floods of tears
No burning wooden bridges
No twelve car pileups
On the motorway
No giant seven meter waves
In the straight, could make me late
Or make me hesitate 
Or make me break a date

As I'm walking  home to you

It's such a simple thing
Just the one foot in front of the other
Sweet, sweet progress
Towards your caress.

Not a bask in the sun
Not a serious discussion 
Not a Casablanca sunset
Not a Mona Lisa smile
Could keep me from your side
Could sway me from your ride
Or make me break my stride
Or doubt what's deep inside

As I'm walking home to you
