about

[In the Cowley Road E.P.] Skidmore pairs quirky (toy piano and banjo) and classical (cello and violin) with satisfying results. “Cowley Road” is my favorite of the album. When she sings of “unbearable pain,” her ferocious voice quavers with emotion.-- Ollie, San Diego Reader

lyrics

I walked through your streets
Kissed the leaves of your trees
And remembered the things that I lost
The doorways, the hallways; the memories I always forget
Though I loved them the most
It’s like beating the glass of these unbreakable panes
I can see but can’t touch them
And I cry out your name
Cowley Road—I’m coming home!
This nostalgia is eating my bones
I’m in love with your name
Separation is unbearable pain
And I’m coming home, I’m coming home, I’m coming home
To walk through your streets
Feel the cobblestone under my feet
And delight in the sound
Of the yellow leaves kissing the ground
To wade through the rivers of people I knew
And to you know you remember that my heart was true
Cowley Road—I’m coming home!
This nostalgia is eating my bones
I’m in love with your name
Separation is unbearable pain
And I’m coming home, I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I’m coming home; I’m coming home
Someday
