about

"Written in July 1996. The middle section is a musical homage to George Harrison." - Brian

lyrics

The last thing I remember I was shaking your hand
The world fell away and
I was drifting on the sound of your voice
Standing there beside you for the very first time
Your body so close to mine, I was hungry for your touch

I think we both know we were lovers long ago
Across the years and miles we're together soul to soul
And if you agreed to hold be then
If you agreed to love me then
Love me again

I've walked and I've crawled through this crooked life
I've clutched and clawed to stay alive
I was waiting for your love
You were always here just out of reach
Dominoes fall and just like a dream
You're standing here to hold me tight

I think we both know we were lovers long ago
Across the years and miles we're together soul to soul
And if you agreed to hold be then
If you agreed to love me then
Love me again

And in the light of a new day
All things have passed away
One kiss and I'm blown away
I am home again

I think we both know we were lovers long ago
Across the years and miles we're together soul to soul
And if you agreed to hold be then
If you agreed to love me then
Love me again

The Baker Street Irregulars Chicago, Illinois

Somewhere between Plastic Ono and Rolling Thunder, THE BAKER STREET IRREGULARS bring an LGBTQ twist to the classic folk/folk rock/indie milieu. Brian McKnight – the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist at the center of this one-man-band – enlists the aid of the occasional musician (thus the irregular line-up) to record original songs that are at once deeply personal and entirely universal. ... more
