This year Clay Ross will be serving up a new album of unrelated tracks, one song at a time. These little audible appetizers offer up all the sonic shape-shifting that one could desire. With influences from John Lennon to John Coltrane, these tracks speak straight from the shuffle generation. We'll be making deliveries, once a month, directly to you inside the Ropeadope community. That's between us, "Entre Nous" just me and you.
Today's package comes in a little heart shaped box. Inside you will find a mariachi band parading through a construction zone en route to join a vegetarian for dinner at a steakhouse. That's how much we love you. Now go ahead and open it, "Sixth City Waltz," by Clay Ross.
Lyrics
At first I was sure you weren't talking to me, but your eyes they were cold as the sea.
I stood in your stare and I thought "what to do?" In this moment is everything true.
You must not be shy cause you came up to me, on the street, to invite me to eat
Down at the bar past the workers ravine, cause choices are few and far between on this scene.
How could I say no to you? Your smile is too gentle, your eyes are too blue
How could I say no to you? Your smile is too gentle, your eyes are too blue
For me to ignore.
I followed behind you and sat at the bar and your silence revealed who you are.
I'm now in a dream like a scene from no screen that no film lovers eyes have ever seen.
How could I say no to you? Your smile is too gentle, your eyes are too blue
How could I say no to you? Your smile is too gentle, your eyes are too blue
For me to ignore.
You asked for the menu that doesn't have meat and the waitress she thought "we'll that's neat, but"
She said, "there can be no substitutions my dear and this menu is all we have here, is that clear?"
How could she say no to you? Your smile is too gentle, your eyes are too blue
How could she say no to you? Your smile is too gentle, your eyes are too blue
For her to ignore.
Oh how could I ignore?
