No More Tears

from In A Perfect World 2016 by Kevin Mitchell

about

A recent tune that could be interpreted as bluegrass. Bluegrass was an early influence in my life and I find it hard to shake off that driving bass and three part harmonies. A song about a prodigal traveler that has explored the four directions and now wants to go home.

lyrics

WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND I WAS RESTLESS (C) Am C
AND I DID NOT KNOW WHERE TO GO F Am
I LEFT MY HOME AND MY FAMILY G C
FOR THAT LONG AND WINDING ROAD F G C

I LOST MY WAY IN THE CITY
LORD KNOWS I PAID THE PRICE IN GOLD
I DID NOT FIND NO FAME OR FORTUNE
ON THAT LONG AND WINDING ROAD

CH: AND WHEN I HEAR MY BABY CALL ME F
NO NEVER MORE I'LL BE ALONE C Am
NO MORE TEARS I WILL CRY C G
WHEN I FIND MY WAY BACK HOME F C
(INST)

I WENT NORTH TO THE FOREST
WHERE THE RIVERS STILL RUN FREE
BUILT MYSELF A CABIN
TO WAIT FOR YOUR COMPANY

I WENT SOUTH TO WHERE THE SUN SHINES
I PICKED THE FRUIT RIGHT OFF THE TREE
I SLEPT UNDER THE MOON THERE
ON THE SAND BY THE SEA

CH:( INST)

I DROVE WEST PAST THE MOUNTAINS
I WENT TO MEET MY FATE
I DROVE INTO THE SUN MY FRIEND
THROUGH THE THUNDER AND THE RAIN

I WENT EAST BACK WHERE I CAME FROM
WHERE THE FIELDS SHINE LIKE GOLD
NOW NO MORE I WILL TRAVEL
ON THAT LONG AND WINDING ROAD

In the last few years the fire has been lit, and those songs are roaring into life. His unique style, rhythms and subject matter combine to create an exciting new and original voice in the Canadian folk music scene. ... more
