"All I Want" Black Max at the Full Moon Club 1-9-09

This is for most listeners a new song. Written in the last year or so, "All I Want" is the only song we play that uses pipe organ! The whole thing really clicked into place when we just decided the bridge was too western sounding to not just own that about it. The results? We hope funny and touching. You be the judge The audio here isn't necessarily the best, so lyrics are included below::

If Im there at the beginning
Will you be there at the end
I could hardly call it winning
Lose a lover, lose a friend
And standing on the edge
Of a future to horrific to unfold
All I want is your hand to have and to
Hold

I'll love you deep inside my heart
Love you til you fall apart
Love you til I waste away
Love you til the end of days
I'll love you deep inside my heart
Love you til you fall apart
Love you til I waste away
Love you til the end of days

Take your scepter and anoint me
I alone can make you stay
And though you say you'll disappoint
Me Let me try it anyway
And turning the pages of what might
Be the saddest story ever told
When all I want is your hand to have and
To hold

I'll love you endlessly and still
Love you on against my will
Ash to ash and dust to dust
Love you like you know I must
Love you love you black and blue
Nothing else that I can do
Love you til I waste away
Love you til the end of days

The sky will blacken with the smoke
from the fires And the air filled with
vultures and the smell of burning tires
And the earth may scorch, in fact I know
It will but that doesnt mean I wont
Love you still.

And you can walk the wicked world
But we are made of stronger stuff
And I am not like other girls
And one day I will be enough
And barring those statements that
Dwell on fortune favoring the bold
All I want is your hand to have and to -
Hold

I love your mountains and your sky
Star studded ocean of your eyes
Love your time and love your space
Love you in my deepest place
Love your morning and your night
Baby it will be alright
Love you til I waste away
Love you til the end of days
