New Music- Poison & Wine By The Civil Wars


You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Your mouth is poison,
 Your mouth is wine
You think your dreams
 Are the same as mine
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will

I always will

I wish you'd hold me
 When I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Your hands can heal,
 Your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice
 But I still choose you
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will

I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
Williams/ White

Music doesn't get much more modest or minimalist than The Civil Wars, a duo comprised of California's Joy Williams & John Paul White. They travel without a backup band & the bare-bones arrangements work with barest of acoustic accoutrements. Their music is loud, but with a ravishing, haunting hush.
