about

Jon: An alt-country waltz - a kind of companion piece for London Bridge 20 years on. This is a plea from someone feeling lost and lonely to their beloved, when surrounded by strangers.

lyrics

“DOWNHEARTED IN THE UPLANDS OF LOVE”
words/music by JAG Delaney ©2016

Verse 1
Postcards from Paris and Sketches of Spain
Faces I remember but I can’t quite recall the names
I misplaced my memories was it drink was it drugs
that left me downhearted In the Uplands of Love

Verse 2
Letters from London inviting me down
I hate the country but not as much as that town
Everybody pushing the tube station shove
Well it got me downhearted in the uplands of love

Bridge
Text yes for sex - Text No, if you’re bored
You wanted a life, this is Death - is there still a
reward? for collecting your thoughts from the train
Think I’ve said enough - but then again
I think I’ve said enough - but then again

Verse 3
Spitting on pavements feeling homesick
It’s like I’m disappearing but there’s no magic trick
Even the pigeons are critics, reviewing life from above
My dove, I’m downhearted in the uplands of love
I’m feeling crushed c’mon give me a hug
Don’t leave me Downhearted in the Uplands of Love
Don’t leave me Downhearted in the Uplands of Love
