The ones we want to love the most are often the ones we shield ourselves from with the greatest fervor.

THE WALLS - By Patrick Spencer

F F7 F F7
Bb Bb7 Bb Bb7

The sunshine was so strong before the weather came along
And washed this spider down to the place he started from
Now the sun’s the only one, he can seek salvation from
The brightest star, the warmest thing, that he can find,
To dry this awful flood
To dry this awful flood

I’ll welcome almost anything, as it comes along
I only look to judgment after everything is done
Everything just happened before we knew it had begun, and now
I’m terrified and standing here, terrified
But I’m the only one.
Why am I the only one… two… three… four

What makes you so powerful, what makes you so strong
I want to tell you that you make me smile, you make me turn and run
Now you are the only one, that I need protection from
The walls I build are high, and the walls I build are strong
Now you are the only one, that I need protection from
The walls I build are high, and the walls I build are strong

What makes me so reckless, what makes me so dumb
WHO KNOWS if I can stomach this but I still can’t get enough
Now you are the only one, that I need protection from
The walls I build are high, and the walls I build are strong
Now you are the only one, that I need protection from
The walls I build are high, and the walls I build are strong

Oh, the sunshine was so strong before the weather came along
And washed this spider down to the place he started from
Now the sun’s the only one, he can seek salvation from
The brightest star, the warmest thing, he can find,
To dry this awful flood
To dry this awful flood

Coldwater Road Vancouver, British Columbia

Founded by Patrick Spencer in 2012, CwRoad gives folk music a reason to dance. Waltzing between love songs and foot-stomping murder ballads, there's a story for everyone. Their style reaches across Folk, Americana, Rock, and Country; like Don McLean sitting in with the Lumineers. Coldwater Road is a five-piece folk/rock group with rich harmonies and driving rhythm. ... more
