Casey Desmond - "Tilt Me Back"

I could be the lady friend
Oh, the possum belly queen, a jill's dream
I've seen the elephant with you daddy
Oh, I've seen everything
The only thing I desire be true, is to share the sky and excitement with you,
My eyes fixed where you go
As you swing to and fro
Passed my view
Can I dangle there too

Tilt me, tilt me back don't let me hit the ground
'Cause now I've found something to keep me high
So can I rely on those hands
I promise that everything's different from upside down

The world just looks better I don't know why
But someday you'll understand

I'm suspended over thousands, and the top is coming down
So I hold on to your sweet swing cloud memory as my performance hits the ground

Tilt me, tilt me back don't let me hit the ground
'Cause now I've found something to keep me high
So can I rely on those hands
I promise that everything's different from upside down

The world just looks better I don't know why
But someday you'll understand

Tilt me darling, keep me from falling
Tilt me, just don't let me hit the ground

Tilt me, tilt me back don't let me hit the ground
'Cause now I've found something to keep me high
So can I rely on those hands
I promise that everything's different from upside down

The world just looks better I don't know why
But someday you'll understand

Tilt me back, tilt me back, tilt me back

This is your best video yet! WOW. And your sister's in it too. How cool is that. Casey, you bring a lot of joy to others. This song reminds me something from the 60s. A little trance-like, melodic, great lyrics, too. From a long time friend of your Oompa!

[AlyssaLlenas]

My dad towed your car once in boston. And your dad was so nice and gave me your cd and t shirt which i still have. Your so amazing <3 Do you rermember that when my dad towed your car?

[Suelorie]

Casey this was the first peice I listened to and it hooked me! I'm new to playing the qchord and you have inspired me-I hope to get my cd produced this winter now that I have a qchord to accompany me. I'll be looking for lots more of your work.

[SinningForever]

saw you with the b52's! you were awesome!

[kcgirlgeek]

It's been a few years since I saw you for the first time singing Save Me Now. I'm totally shocked that we're not hearing you on the radio yet, because you're so ridiculously talented as a writer, musician, AND singer. You're so much better than the majority of generic fluff we hear on the radio. If I was rich...I'd invest in you, Girl...I truly would. Don't stop...whatever you do. I just KNOW it's coming for you.

[philosopher1000]

nice song, and she's fit!

[nightwind928]

Just when you think that nobody is left out there with a fresh, new way to look at music, along comes this beautiful young lady with a song that you fall in love with before it's halfway over. This talented beauty is a front line winner... and I have been listening to music for over 6 decades now and never picked a bad one. Casey Desmond and this song are wonderful.
