lyrics
There was a flicker of a candle
there was a suitcase and a knife
there was that camera that I bought you
on that damp, stale, starless night
and you were standing with that sullen look on your eyes
that I’ve seen too many times before
and you waved at me almost motionlessly as your white dress dragged across the floor
and you were just a shiny diamond
bought on the black market of hope
and I will never leave your island
and you’ll never grow old
You whispered something unintelligible
then you turned and went up the stairs
and you furrowed your face
like you heard something strange
and I knew right then that I’d never dare
it’d take a man braver than me
to tread casually in the blindness of my youth
but you pushed all my buttons
like Sam to Delilah
and I knew I couldn’t fight this truth
‘cause you were just a shiny diamond
bought on the black market of hope
and I will never leave your island
and you’ll never grow old
and if you were standing here before me
you would be no less of a ghost
and you’d linger in the air forever
like an old burnt up piece of toast
and you were just a shiny diamond
bought on the black market of hope
and I will never leave your island
and you’ll never grow old
and you were just a shiny diamond
bought on the black market of hope
and I will never leave your island
and you’ll never grow old
and you’ll never grow old
and you’ll never grow

Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL
Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century. Shaggy Maggot
A surprisingly tender and intimate concept record about long distance love from Cody Votolato of The Blood Brothers/Head Wound City. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 30, 2019
