Back in those early days, before he started playing with a full band, his sound was irresistible - I couldn't get enough of his lyrics, dripping with vulnerability and charm - the former I had in abundance at that time, the latter not so much.

I am feeling a little vulnerable tonight, and Josh is helping me to feel better.

West of her there's a place I know
Never have been but I'd like to go
Somewhere out there I believe in me
And west of her is where I'd like to see
West of her there's another place
Sun shines soft on another face
And the river falls on another sea
And west of her is where I'd like to be

Roll on

I tried out-running you, it didn't last
Everything that catches up must come to pass
And your voice is the one inside my head
I ended up out-running myself instead

Roll on

You'll probably end up thinking that I don't care
When you get a letter from a new somewhere
But I know you've got what you need to be
Happy someplace east of me

Roll on
