Come To Me, BLue* WaGon!

Before THE SPIRIT THAT BRINGS US HERE was a sleepy hotel version of this song. Lisa Nemetz (BLUE WAGON) brings it up to day… great feel and template for the debut BLUE*WAGON album.

COME TO ME
I was just a young thing
Had no understanding
Used to lose my head and heart but…
Got up on the [...]

From The Spirit! CRAWL
