lyrics

Meet me tonight without hesitation
Wearing the night on your skin
Meet me tonight without reservation
But don't ask me where I've been

I'l sing you a song of loveliness and mountains
A song without fear or regret
Take me in your hands, poison me with kisses
Teach me how to forget

The years go by/And memories fade
But I can't seem to let go of you
I still hear your voice/So pale and pretty
These Mexico City blues

I'll stay with you tonight and I've given you warning
There's no place I really need to be
I'll love you tonight and see you in the morning
But it might not be your face I'll see

The moon shines bright but brings me no comfort
The stars burn cold from above
The leaves hiss about and blanket me with shadows
And I ache for you my love

Kill me with your eyes, save me with your music
Your lips show me how to despair
I've written you this song of loneliness and fire
Breathe the sweetness in the air

The years go by/And memories fade
But I can't seem to let go of you
I still hear your voice/So pale and pretty
These Mexico City blues

Chase me all through the night/I'm still too drunk to care
I'll sing you this song/But the words come out wrong
And my shame is always there

So meet me tonight without hesitation
Some place I can touch you alone
Meet me tonight without reservation
Alone is all we've ever known

The years go by/And memories fade
But I can't seem to let go of you
I still hear your voice/So pale and pretty
These Mexico City blues

about

Aaron Gabriel Washington

A singer you can bring home to mother.

I've always been drawn to music that was about something more than making noise. I wanted to make music that said something, that caused people to feel something -- in my opinion, every song is meant for someone, even if we've never met. And while my music will certainly not be for everyone, there are plenty who enjoy it very much, and that makes me happy. ... more
