High Time to Hang Fire - Live From Iowa

by Ryan Necci and the Buffalo Gospel

/

about

“Honestly, it’s one of the tougher ones for me to play live. I can get deep in my head on that one and the next thing I know, I’ve forgotten the words or missed a cue,” says Necci, who’s described the song as a belated goodbye letter to a close friend. “He’s always right in the front of my brain when I sing it.”

lyrics

I'm fairly certain the red dirt on my window pane
Was left there so I could remember the last time it rained
Laced in the lovin' and light through long lonely tracks
Of the tears that I cried on the day you never came back

It's high time to hang fire
It's high time to hang fire
A trick of the light on the day you were gone
It's high time to hang fire

I'll chase my guilt with regret, hellos with goodbyes
Let them slip over this heart and when they run dry
I'll curse what I never said when I had the chance
Now all of time that we had has slipped through my hands

It's high time to hang fire
It's high time to hang fire
A trick of the light on the day you were gone
It's high time to hang fire

Well I've lost my faith in the things I was sure of
And forgotten more than I'll ever let on
Threadbare and grace and welded up true love
A trick of the light on the day you were gone

It's high time to hang fire
It's high time to hang fire
A trick of the light on the day you were gone
It's high time to hang fire
It's high time to hang fire
