Letting You In

from Laurel Lake EP by Rachel Ries

/
  • Limited Edition, sewn by hand with love! Laurel Lake EP
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This is a rare little labor of love, sewn by me (Rachel) in the kitchen. Fabric sleeves sewn from a hodgepodge of fabric, a printed insert with lyrics (and a little heart I colored in) and, of course, a CD. Each one is numbered and unlike all the others. I wanted to turn my Laurel Lake retreat into something you could hold! The initial 317 sold out but I've put together another hundred. Have at it!

    Includes unlimited streaming of Laurel Lake EP via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Letting You In

i know i am to blame
i left my bike in the rain and snow
for a season i watched it rust and fade
i know i am to blame, i know
i know i am to blame

i know i am to blame
for the violin that's been gathering dust
if you insist i must i'd play you a song
but i'm just the one to blame
i can't play
i'm just the one to blame

i know i am to blame
for leaving her there in her birthday blues
with wine spilled on her favorite shoes
and the house in disarray
i should've stayed
i know i am to blame

i know i am to blame
i said i would give you a place to stay
i swore i'd be around when the sun went down
i know i am to blame
for not letting you in
and not letting you in
and not letting you in
and not letting you in
