Lovey Baby 03:36
Well I met you in a crowd of pretty people I told myself I wouldn't fall in love But now we're on the road to the old church steeple And oh sweet honey, you're still the one Lovey baby, you're still the one And now I don't know where I am Or where I been, or where I'll be But honey, I'll stick with you 'Cause as far as I can tell, As I can touch, as I can see, Sweet lady, our love gonna make it through Now at first I must admit I wasn't hopin' I didn't see much light inside your eyes But every time you wake me in the morning Oh, sweet sunshine, I'm still surprised Lovey baby, I'm still surprised That I don't know where I am Or where I been, or where I'll be But honey, I'll stick with you 'Cause as far as I can tell, As I can touch, as I can see, Sweet lady, our love gonna make it through Sometimes we got hope Sometimes it's hopeless But sometimes all we got And I'm so glad I spent sometime with you Now the earthquakes they may shake and the clouds may tumble And the hurricanes might blow us into bits And the terrorists, they may leave us in the rubble That's fine 'cause darling, our love don't quit Lovey baby, our love will win And now I don't know where I am Or where I been, or where I'll be But honey, I'll stick with you Because as far as I can tell, As I can touch, as I can see, Sweet lady, our love gonna make it through, that's true Lovey baby, our love gonna make it through!

Well, listen up pretty mama you been on my mind I been dreamin' about you girl since the dawn of time When fish could learn to talk, and dogs took to the moon I been dreamin' about you darlin' since 1962 I'm goin' out there, I'm goin' out to see the ocean blue I'm goin' out there, I'm goin' out to see my dream come true I'm goin' out there, I'm goin' out And I'm dreaming of you know who For you I'd climb a mountain with a backpack of bricks I would sail across an ocean with a pair of chopsticks I would saddle up a zebra, if that's what pleases you Yeah I'd do anything for you girl just to be close to you I'm goin' out there, I'm goin' out to see the ocean blue I'm goin' out there, I'm goin' out to see my dream come true I'm goin' out there, I'm goin' out And I'm dreaming of you know who And even though you're just a figment of my imagination I'd love to take you down to the railroad station We could take a trip out west, to paradise only we could view You know I do believe in heaven, if you believe in me too I'm goin' out there, I'm goin' out to see the ocean blue I'm goin' out there, I'm goin' out to see my dream come true I'm goin' out there, I'm goin' out And I'm dreaming of you know who

True Love 02:49
True love, she is patient boy And true love, she is kind True love don't got anything to prove I've seen true love walk away, It happens all the time True love's trying to find its true love too Beaming through the headlights Burning through the night It blinds you like the sun True love she ain't wicked boy, True love she ain't wise True love rights the whole world's wrong True love rides a motorcycle deep into the night True love rides back home in time for tea for two True love, she don't need to speak, Just look her in the eyes You'll find true love waiting there for you Peering through the window, Pouring in the rain, It finds you every time True love I can't hold it no more, True love I can't wait True love, don't you break this heart of mine

Applebee, the lights are low And you're holding me, in your arms so slow You kiss my cheek before I go Tell me, what am I supposed to do? And on the beach, we're digging holes And you look at me as if I know That some things speak, and some things show That's why I'm close to you Oh, but I got this feeling That tomorrow you won't feel it So tonight, I'm begging you To hold me close, spin me right, If just for a moment, tonight Tonight, be mine And in my bed, I'm losing sleep 'Cause you're in my head, and I'm in too deep But I won't forget what you said to me, "Honey, I just don't think we're gonna make it through" But you're in my veins, honey you're in my blood I'm off the reins, darlin' I'm in the mud I prayed for rain, and you gave me sun Now you burn me just by being you Oh, now I can't believe it I think I must, I must be dreaming That tonight, I'm begging you To hold me close, spin me right If just for a moment, tonight Tonight, darlin' Love me slow, stride to stride, If just for a moment, tonight Tonight, be mine

Honey, don't light your candle Honey, don't blow it out Honey, don't take your sandals 'Cause the floorboard's leaking out Honey, don't raise your wineglass Honey, don't make a toast Honey, don't pray to the dead man 'Cause he ain't no holy ghost Honey, don't cast your anchor Honey, don't rock the boat Honey, you're in real danger And I don't think this ship is gonna float Honey, I can see the searchlight shining But honey it's getting dim And honey, they took all the lifeboats So I guess we're gonna have to swim Honey, don't turn that sail around And honey, don't twist the wheel Honey, better jump the deck right now 'Cause the wind ain't gonna heel Honey, don't wake the sailors Honey, just let 'em row Honey, they don't need no favors I don't think this ship's a gonna hold Honey, please heed the warning Honey, don't let it slide 'Cause honey, if you wait till morning No one will survive Honey, you could ignore me And I would be alright But please don't come a calling me When the sea salt's in your eyes I told you honey, don't cast your anchor Honey, don't rock the boat Honey, you're in real danger And I don't think this ship's a gonna I don't think this ship's a gonna float

Young Love 03:33
Young love, hold a mirror to my mind And show me some kind of vision I'm struck, stumbling through the night I been trying to find something missing Young love, put an arrow in my side Young love, split me open wide Young love, I'm in over my head tonight I'm high as a kite but I'm falling Old hate, you can point it on a map On blood-spattered streets 'cross the nation But love, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S AT In your arms embrace I'll be chasing Young love, on the merry-go-round Young love, spinning at the speed of sound Young love, why did you let me down On the dark side of town I was pleading Don't bring me down, love Don't bring me down, love Don't bring me down, love Young love, like a midsummer dream Young love, weeping like a willow tree Young love, crumbling like autumn leaves I'm lost in that sleepless hollow Young love, like the wind and rain Young love, you sweep me off my feet again Young love, what was I trying to say I'm here for today, but tomorrow...

Oh My Love 04:42
Oh, my love Oh, my love Oh, my love It's a long way home It's a long way home, boys Goodbye to you, my one and all My once upon a time I threw away my crystal ball And now I walk the line I saw a great distance, A great distance, A great missing you But now I've gone that distance I wish you'd gone there too I used to think your love was all And all was as it seemed I saw you two-step through the wall In my country western dreams I saw the sun setting, The sun setting And I did not understand That some things never settle, They just drift like sand Oh, my love Oh, my love Oh, my love It's a long way home, boys It's a long way home Now I look upon this looming dawn As I fly toward the west I never thought that I could fall so long I really thought I knew you the best It's such a strange feeling A strange feeling And don't I know it too That my true love, she's waiting But she isn't you No! She isn't you

Will you take me in your arms to the country western bar? Country western bar, take me in your arms Will you take me in your arms and fly me to the stars When we turn to dust upon the earth? We could cure these blues in our country western shoes Country western shoes, dance the whole night through We could dance the whole night through until our feet are bruised When we turn to dust upon the earth I feel our love is burning in me like a coffee cup Just like a coffee cup, darlin', we better drink it up We better drink it up before it's cold as mud When we turn to dust upon the earth Will you walk along my side down the city streets tonight? City streets tonight, darlin', walk it all my life Will you walk it all my life into the morning light When we turn to dust upon the earth? You know the wintertime is coming, and I can feel it on the midst I feel it on the midst, darlin', won't you take this kiss Darlin' won't you take this kiss before it's in the ditch When we turn to dust upon the earth And the big black moon is rising in the heavy metal skies Heavy metal skies, darlin', lord I don't know why but I'm gonna love you 'till the day I die When we turn to dust upon the earth When we turn to dust upon the earth.

When winter comes, please take me along Out by the Rocky Mountains, coast of California, The Sultan Sea, or to the stars above I don't want to know, I don't really care I just want to be alone with you there

about

Oh My Love is my country western romance. It's an ode to Love, to having and holding as much as to longing and leaving. The music and lyrics are soulful and swift as they dance and spin through warm melodies. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes elusive, such is Love.

From as early as 2013 and as late as the summer of 2019, I’ve compiled my complicated relationship with Love as my first studio album, Oh My Love. Wooed into being, I played the first beginnings of Oh My Love in a humid third floor suite in Pensacola, Florida for my bandmates to practice. The album was further fleshed out over the course of three live sessions in the the fall of 2019. All of the final takes used came from the third and last of those sessions, frantically recorded the morning of November 10, 2019.

2020 felt the blow of a shadow in the form of some idiot airborne virus. The fragile Albuquerque music scene caught a strong case and lost much of its breath. Although my country western romance only lasted "just for a moment", I'd like to think this album breathes life as our world did before the age of the masks.

With a gasp of triumph, I am pleased to proclaim the release of Oh My Love. If you so wish to preorder the album, you will be pleasantly gifted the Pensacola Hotel Session as well as a few key rehearsal takes that didn’t quite make the cut. I will also personally and exclusively be hand-drawing T-Shirts for all who so wish to pre-order one. Anyway, see ya' round next time partner — maybe next winter at the country western bar.

With love XOXO,
John King Cave
