about

Kind of a singer-songwriter confessional.

lyrics

LOVESVILLE
by Richard Horton © Hortones, BMI

It’s a real live pleasure in the palm of my hand
I’d never sought such treasure from these psalms in the sand
And now measure for measure I’m not sure where I stand
In Lovesville

She’s a luscious guitar made of ash and steel string
So languid and lush how her curved body sings
Who knew her siren’s voice would cause her to bring me
To Lovesville

But there in the middle of torn magazines,
In detritus of people and places I’d seen
A song sweetly sang from that ash guitar—

I thought Lovesville was just a place in my mind
Just filled with lost faces that I’d left behind
As my world grew grander never thought I’d find myself
In Lovesville

But there in the midst of old picture frames
Among love letters from long lost flames
A lone guitar lay on an unopened case—

I’d never played her strings, I’d never heard her notes
I’d never heard the way her melody floats
Never knew that joy ‘til I was grabbed by the throat
In Lovesville
