lyrics

Patsy Cline
When we’re in our wild place
I can only hear you
Rising like a country tune
Pedal steel crying leading to ruin
Thought I had you where I want you

I could be in LA
All the silver rooftops
All the crazy cries of lovers
No match for your wildfire
It’s better than a quiet life

There ya go
Wrongfooting me every time
Just when I think I’ve the essence of you
You steer me off Balance, like Patsy Cline

Here you are, pointing to a different climb
Just when I think I’ve caught up with you
You walk after midnight like patsy cline

Our wild place
Holds no trace
Just a fragment
Of the way we were

I went fumbling and foraging
Looking for our wild place
Found your scarlet letter
Read it twice and kissed it better
Buried words to be reaped and sown

The things I’ve done
I’ve told to you
Wouldn’t tell to whisperin pines
We were our own captain and our crew
If love is a wild place
We rode horses from the ocean

There ya go
Wrongfooting me every time
Just when I think I’ve the essence of you
You steer me off Balance, like Patsy Cline

Here you are, pointing to a different climb
Just when I think I’ve caught up with you
You walk after midnight like patsy cline

Our wild place
Holds no trace
Just a fragment
Of the way we were

about

Jack O'Rourke Cork, Ireland

Jack O’Rourke was described by Hotpress as “one of Ireland’s most gifted songwriters” in a review for his 2019 album, Ivory Towers. A Corkonian, Jack certainly references the musicality of Leeside turn of phrase, but his songs explore unique character studies, matters of the heart and are deeply personal, yet universal. This particularly rings true on his upcoming third album, Wild Place ... more
