Talk To Treasure – Track 1 from Soul Remedy by Honey and Hustle – Sam Kaufmann songwriter and guitarist, Kat Snapp Vocals
Talk to Treasure
Lean in closer, let the minutes pass
A haze of lies, a new alphabet
Smoky screens, and in-betweens
Whiskey Whispers of a dreamer’s debt
You speak of dreams and all your schemes
Pour another, drown those whispers
Sharpen your words, but they fall flat
On a bet that’s cold and crisper
Quit the chatter
Let’s see some cash clatter
Where your little mouth blabber
Let’s turn talk into treasure
Cheap talkers in their high chairs
Empty pockets, heavy stares
Lot’s of spending, but you can’t buy
Your poker face, can’t fool my eye
Let’s pour another, to toast our youth
In a room where the lies sound a lot like truth
Barstool stories, worn and weathered
Come on sweetheart, let’s make it better
BRIDGE
Lay down your bets, and your smoky regrets
Barkeep’s judgment, he never forgets
Hear the clink-clink, the glasses they chi-chime
With each coin drop, you’re losing old time
Sober thoughts submerged in red wine
The truth’s only borrowed, but the lies are all mine
Quit the chatter
Let’s see some cash clatter
Underneath the swagger
Let’s turn talk into treasure
