lyrics

Hello Babe
Hello Babe, How are you? Hope you’re more than fine.
Such a tiny word for all that happens, at the end of the line

I’ve been playing my guitar, trying to sing the way I feel.
Feel just like I don’t know what to say, though I love you still

Chorus
You’ve got to let it go
Sometimes you’ve got to turn
Finally tears a hole in you
Down and down it burns
You’ve got to let it go
Sometimes you’ve got to turn
Fly away to where you’ve never been
Hope like Hell you learn

I flew out of Boston, saw the turtle back of land
The air was kind of bumpy. My feet were in the sand
Looked down in some Quarry, saw rocks all squared away
Saw some faces frozen like rust upon the gate

See the sea run through the country side
Grows small and so contained
Runs awash trying to find a way to run on home again
Won’t you throw your arms around me, say that it’s alright
I don’t know where I’m going, Babe, I’m standing in my light

J.W. McClure Seattle, Washington

J.W. McClure lives in Stanwood, Washington. This is a career restarted for me. In the 1970’s I was often an opening act at the Washington D.C. clubs, The Cellar Door and The Childe Harold for Tom Paxton, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Rush and many well known bands. In the 1980’s I returned to Washington to do folk music, satire and stand-up comedy before getting swamped by family and other work. ... more
