I wanna miss you, lonely as the desert sand; Sparkle like a star, stranger in a faraway land. Pockets tie his hands up, feet stuck right where he stands, Divide grows wide ‘tween work and the wants of a man. One hand holds the pulse, the other a steerin’ wheel, On one hand it is his curse, on the other it’s what is real. I shine bright like the wide, wide world when you’re standing on the moon, she could be just any girl. Your hands are tied, but your heart is free. If you learn to cut the rope, please make your way to me. I wanna show you, lover take my hand. You can find satisfaction being a one woman man. I wanna love you. I don’t know where I stand, between your heart, the road, and all of the needs of a man. One hand holds the pulse, the other a steerin’ wheel, On one hand it is his curse, on the other it’s what is real. I shine bright like the wide, wide world when you’re standing on the moon, she could be just any girl. Your hands are tied, but your heart is free. If you learn to cut the rope, please make your way to me. When you hang your hat on her, will you hang your head in shame? When you say that it’s impossible, you’re just runnin’ away from the thing that kept you tied down, the thing that keeps your feet on the ground. I shine bright like the wide, wide world when you’re standing on the moon, she could be just any girl. Your hands are tied, but your heart is free. If you learn to cut the rope, please make your way to me. If you learn to cut the rope, please make your way to me.
***** Ummmmm hello dufus - she definitely should prefer fame. She could get on Ellen and maybe even the cover of People magazine. With any luck she might even get to meet Ryan Seacrest.
This is one of the best original songs I’ve heard in a long time. These lyrics are incredibly articulate and cohesive yet beautifully poetic and incredible use of metaphors that don’t sound like they’re trying too hard. They’re just honestly raw and deep. And those Melodies carry me to painful places that I don’t mind visiting for some reason. Thank you so much for your music lera. You are an incredible talent and I feel very fortunate to know your music.
I'm a hard rock guy, but love this, she is awesome and the music is eerie cool. Like The a Wreck of The Edmunds Fitzgerald or Chris Isaacs Wicked Game. I hope she has a wonderful music career and stays away from the pop crap. Stay true the the music and yourself honey!!!
For me, this songs represents the need of a person to have the company of a man she can't have, because he's married (on one hand it is his curse on the other it's what is real), but she's open to the possibility of having him if he's heart is free. What else do you see on this song?.
I found her through True Detective and she's the best thing to come out of it. I've listened to her other songs that aren't TD-related and they're great as well. Such an exceptional artist.
Hi from Turkey, I hope this days will be end soon. We all waiting at home like hopeless. But music can help us on this days. Feel the ryhthm and enjoy.
I just love this song. I think she is so very talented. Her lyrics, her phrasing, her guitar playing, not to mention the quality of her voice and all the emotion that comes through. All A+, IMO. I hope you start getting more attention, Lera! You certainly deserve it! First heard on the True Detective Season 2 trailer - "The Only Thing Worth Fighting For". Took my breath away. I listened to that 1 min clip about a hundred times before I found the full song.
I thought this was gonna be a cover of Standing On The Moon by THE Good Ol Grateful Dead.... Not what I expected but not at all disappointed. What a voice! That's called singing from the heart. You just got a new fan.
Thank you Lera, wonderful of you to share your talents with us all. One Texan to another...keep it real, you are about to blow up but remember what moves YOU.
Amazing artist. We love such talent! The same as we loved Heather Nova in the 90s we now love Lera Lynn. Where do these guys get som much creativity from!!!
Was looking for the Dead SOM and found this. This is some beautiful stuff, nice soul. Trying not compare to other stuff but vocals on this track are solid 50%. If this artist opened up a can of whoop ass this would be on the top 40 for months. She has the talent locked and loaded. Wez all staring down the barrel of the gun.

Lera Lynn is one reason RUclips should have a "Love" button instead of "Like".
still have this stuck in my heads
Or an “Escape” lever. It’s what I pull when I gotta get out.
true
I agree hun 💓
Golden comment
That voice….that haunting guitar…folks, that is liquid gold.
thank you True Detective for making me fan of Lera Lynn😘
Lera you are so beautiful, and talented and loved. American Icon.
The timbre of her voice is something else.
I wanna miss you, lonely as the desert sand;

Come across this by accident and love her,how have I missed not knowing this beautiful voice before now?
My favourite song of hers ❤
Hopefully True Detective will give her the fame she deserves.

+Ψευδώνυμο Ψευδεπίθετο Thank you for existing
Here I am in 2019 wondering where the hell has this girl been.
Fame is a great destroyer.
Talent and a well seasoned soul endure.
@@angminnycShe tours in Europe more than the US.
I keep circling back to Lera Lynn since True Detective. She IS the number one American singer songwriter.
Lest you forget Jason Isbell when speaking of the great American singer songwriters.
@@ryanreed380man a duet between them two would be an eargasm.

John Smith great comparisons! Very apt.
Well said, sir.
47 year old metal head here. Last 5-10 years folk, bluegrass and alt-country has taken over my playlists. Food for the soul my friend. 🤘🏻
Her voice gives me goosebumps.
Her words make me ache.
Those strings. Deceptive.
beautiful,beautiful
Pozdrav iz Panceva, slusa se i ovde!
A real songwriter
Nic Pizzolato! thank u man!
This song just melted my heart. Will be putting it on my mixes for the rest of my life.
Anton Rebbe Right up there with Alison Krauss It Doesn't Matter, just beautiful as hell!
Anton Rebbe I thought the same! An alto Alison Krauss.
+Anton Rebbe Reminds me of Patty Griffin.
