The second single off of the upcoming full-length album "Canton and Field" (out 12/16/22).

lyrics

Remember the nights
On the water in Newport News
By the bridge
With the lion's head
Roaring at you
We'd slip down the bank
The James River at our feet
The swirling air
Brought the smell of Smithfield
To our little beach

And the malt liquor we drank
The weeknights easier to take
When you kissed me on the mouth
The law was ours

We walked past the mansions
On Riverside, by the shore
You lit up Shoe Lane
The streetlights crystalized your form

In Tidewater light, this all seems so long ago
In Tidewater light, seven cities all our own
In Tidewater light, when I still recognized myself
In Tidewater light, we'll be crossing water to get back home

Waterless port
Our own brick boxes
Beyond the square
When broken hearts
Were far less complicated and fair
We could drink them off
Stay in one place and feel secured
If man made Lake Maury
We showed it how to be pure

And it seems we only speak
In nostalgia anymore
I've found train tracks through the woods
In every state

We took expensive papers
Back to a home that wasn't ours
It's not what we'd hoped
Our time and place is waterlogged

In Tidewater light, this all seems so long ago
In Tidewater light, seven cities all our own
In Tidewater light, when I still recognized myself
In Tidewater light, we'll be crossing water to get back home
