about

A musical look at agoraphobia as a duet. Featuring Leigh Humes on vocals. George and Tammy, or Porter and Dolly might have cut this song back in the golden age of country.

lyrics

THE GLOW
© 2011 Steven A. Humes All Rights Reserved

VERSE

There's a pile of empty beer bottles
Next to his chair
Look around behind
And there's some more back there
He sits in front of his TV
Putting them down all night
Just being lonely
Just out of sight
Except for the glow

CHORUS

Glowing TV, cigarettes and neon signs
Are the only loving lights that shine
If you can call it that at all
In his lonely mind
The glow of happiness
Been replaced by sadness and despair
It's a sad and lonely place
But he put himself there

VERSE

There's a pile of cigarette butts
At the bottom of the stairs
She ain't never seen them
Cause she doesn't go down there

She chain smokes on the balcony
When she gets home at night
Just being lonely
Just out of sight
Except for the glow

CHORUS (She)...

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

BRIDGE
Loving loneliness
Keeps them from knowing love is right
And lonely folks just get lonelier
Staying just out of the light

CHORUS (Themselves)

TAG
It's a sad and lonely place
But they put themselves there
