lyrics

You don’t see me,
but I love you just the same.

I would ride in the afternoon
You'd follow after, with a hickory broom
You’d pass the bottle when I got dry
And brush away the blue tail fly

You don’t see me,
But I see you just the same

I’d ride around on grandpa’s farm
The flies so numerous, they did swarm
I was bitten on my woeful thigh
The devil take the blue tail fly, singing

You don’t see me,
But I’m with you just the same

You laid me under a persimmon tree
My epitaph is there to see
"Beneath this stone, I'm forced to lie
Victim of the blue tail fly"

You don’t see me,
But I’m in you just the same

French Melodic Black Metal. I am in serious danger of overdose from this fantastic one man band! I just came from hearing his latest & desperately need more so here I am... :) Such emotions & perfect melancholic melodies coming through it is truly impressive! The accordion is the perfect touch! Love the cover by James Hutton too! Some lyrics would be great. Highly recommended!!! bmurator
