You Found Me

about

Written 2012 to September 5th 2016, Lafayette LA.

lyrics

You found me; you found me alone in the dregs
I was drunken and laughing; I couldn’t stand on my legs
I heard you; I heard you a’ calling my name
I heard your voice ringin’ through the city streets, babe
I stumbled and tripped down the ol’ alleyway
But you found me; you found me and asked me to stay

I thought for so long that I’d gotten much right
But came to the truth unsuspecting one night
It pained me; it pained me to say it was so
But after some time I gave in to the flow
Yes, after some years I decided to grow
It took me a long time to square with it, though

You grounded me deep in traditional ways
Like I imagine our folks lived for many a’ days
We wandered for hours through heather and grove
We warmed up old coffee in a pot on the stove
And we swore that forever and wherever we roam
We’ll always return to this place we call home

I praised you; I praised you in song and in verse
In words in old notebooks; in lines unrehearsed
I spoke of and sang of a muse I had seen
And felt in my bones and known in my dreams
Then you walked through my doorway one night early spring
I praised you; I praised you; your song now I sing

I met you; I met you outside and alone
And felt that my jokes came off stiffer than stones
I wed you; I wed you with old secret rites
On the edge of New Jersey on a New England night
For more than a moment I was given a fright
You found me; you found me in the old city night

You found me; you found me; you found me, ol’ babe
And my words had foreshadowed the day
With hidden, deep meanings that came through spades
You grounded me deep in traditional ways
You inspired in me words ‘fore I yet knew your name
You grounded me deep in traditional ways

Reece Sullivan Lafayette, Louisiana

Originally from Arkansas, and now in Lafayette, LA, I play the surrounding areas regularly. Over the course of the years, I've reinvented myself musically many times: piano to guitar, classical to art rock, art rock to folk, flat picking to finger-picking, solely songwriting to performing. My latest incarnation has me playing out often, sometimes touring, and writing and recording consistently. ... more
