lyrics

Scrape my boot on cobblestones and broken bottles
Wonder how the summer got away
On this forgotten
Holiday

Crossed a river in a city so familiar
I was sure that I would know the way
Looking for a
Friendly face

You can take the long way home
Wait a while, I’m told

In this city as old as time
I’ve been drinking at the blackest rose
Never a diamond shined half as fine
I’m only drinking at the blackest rose

You can tell that it’s the evening by the faces
And the volume of the songs they play
Pay your tab but you still can’t get away [talk]

If a dream can mean as much as you and me
when we were living all our yesterdays
Would it matter if I tried to change

I can take a punch and call you once or twice a month
And I’ll come back alone
For you

In this city as old as time
I’ve been drinking from the blackest rose
Never a diamond shined half as fine
I’m only dreaming of the blackest rose

Alot of dirty water under neath a rusty bridge
And all of your cousins turned out be pricks

A solitary figure on a golden sea
Looks much like the man that you’d like to be

about

Sparrowhawk Minneapolis, Minnesota

Sparrowhawk was formed in Minneapolis in 2018 by four dudes whose previous bands include Private Interests, Mystery Date, Southside Desire, and Radio On. Their sound combines the big riffs and guitar harmonies of '70s van rock legends like Thin Lizzy with power-pop, glam, and first wave punk sounds from both sides of the Atlantic.
