Darkness, Learn To See 03:08
lyrics

Darkness - music and words by-r.i.eldridge Some sidestep the mourning-never open the door- they just keep walking Right past it- there’s no healing by looking in it’s eyes- Or kneeling at the feet- that broke you- my only disguise came from- Standing in the darkness- with a match in one hand- and a candle in the other- well I chose the darkness- it’s where I learned to see- where my mind can be- A little more like me (chorus) and I never feared the alone- still a king but I -lack a throne A place to call my home - and turn my key So I took the pass- I walked down the road- it was paved- With so much meaning-well I dragged my feet- that were filled with indecision- I was behind- all the living And I found the race to be long-it was filled with some forgiving And company with the living-well I chose the darkness- it’s where I learned to see- where my mind can be- A little more like me- (chorus)

Loving Well 02:50

Loving Well - music and words by-r.i.eldridge Hey, how many times, can I drink from the same watering hole? Well I guess it’s been- close to a hundred days in a row Ain’t no doubt that it tastes good - at least the way that it should Well my feet are so sore yea- they done gone through hell There’s a worn path, back and forth, from your loving well The way I see it- it seems so clear- when you walk so far but you seem so near- when your heart belongs to a complex kid- it’s hard to remember what you did- and our souls won the war- Yes they done gone through hell- they’re walking hand in hand- Back and forth- from your loving well-there’s a worn path - back and forth From your loving well… Turn it up some heart yea- roll it down to the well yea (repeat)

Coming In Real Thin 02:53

Coming In Real Thin - music and words by-r.i.eldridge The dreams come alive- in my bed- you’re trying to make sense of it all Just taking in your environment - and you feel left out from the riddle that you told- and there you stand- try to deal with all the banishment- because nothing went as planned (chorus) So you’re coming in real thin- yes you’re coming in real thin- I spent a little time- in my head- trying to make sense of it all Before I send along my sentiments I got myself in the middle of the road- with outstretched hands-if you’re coming around looking for punishment- you know these aren’t the right hands. (chorus)

Sit In Irons 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Sit In Irons - music and words by-r.i.eldridge Behind the eyes- lives the yearning - while the house burns away Don’t ask why- be discerning- how far can you walk in a day? Inject some meaning-kick aside that strife- the momentum Will show the way- so keep on - keeping on- is all they seem to say (refrain) The say (repeat) Soon enough-you’ll turn the corner- find calm water- you sail to prove Sit in irons- take some time to think- go on liberty- and have a few Rest your head up- like another hangover- a cool glass of water Is what you do- so make the most - of your chance- change your colors Replace the blue- (refrain) The blue (repeat)

about

These collection of songs start off as ideas for the project, "The Warm Auction". Robby Eldridge, songwriter, writes and records in his studio with Sam Baldigowski (lapsteel, pedal steel, mandolin). Essentially, whatever is created in the song lab is an idea for a new track. Songs from the Warm Auction are almost finished versions of songs that may or may not make a proper record or release. They are useable demos of new ideas we write and record. There's mistakes, tempo issues and other miscues but songwriting is an imperfect process. The focus is on the melody, flow and the emotional connection with the listener.
