lyrics

i know a place where the lovers go
we went there once not long ago
and now you’re gone i’ll go there once again

i’ll say farewell to our little motel
it was just one night and we slept like hell
though i swear i’d never seen you look at me the way that you did then
and now i’ll never see you again

over there is where we tossed that old umbrella
as you shook the raindrops from your hair
there’s the sink where you took a drink of water
and laughing, you collapsed into that very chair

i could close my eyes and cross the room and never stumble
i could close my eyes and swear i felt you there
over there is the corner where i kissed you
how i’ve missed you, and tonight you look as lovely as a prayer

it’s too much, it’s too much
i’m doing it again
you’re not here, you’re not here
and you haven’t been

one more night in the farewell motel alone
and in the morning i’ll go home, home, home

darling, i would go to such great lengths
to once again smell your shampoo upon these sheets

about

Matthew Connor Boston, Massachusetts

Matthew Connor is a crooner for the 21st century, writing heart-wrenching songs that combine the windswept ideals of classic American balladry with stark depictions of modern-day alienation. The Boston-based Connor has a haunting voice that conjures ghosts of past heartbreaks, and he pairs it with spectral guitars that recall country tearjerkers and alt-pop brooding.
