Matthew Ryan

Matthew Ryan (born Ryan Webb; November 7, 1971) is an American alternative country singer-songwriter. Ryan has also collaborated with Neilson Hubbard to form the band Strays Don't Sleep. Ryan's voice has been described as a "hushed rasp, with words catching like vows destined to be broken - one of modern music's most potent whispers." Like the Jayhawks, Son Volt and other artists from the late 1990s alternative country scene, Ryan has a dedicated following but only limited commercial success. more »

Later on 
When we've all come down 
And the streets are just a funeral 
And the last event 
Is falling ash and embers 
We'll drift and waltz and twist into nothing 
We weren't too bright my love, but 
weren't we something? 

Heroes waved 
From rented black sedans 
Monsters crept behind tall buildings 
And we smiled and cheered 
Like nothing ever ended 
We were so beautiful we forgot we were human 
In dusk and fear amen 
we found our undoing 

Don't say it comes as any shock 
Things just go and go and go until they stop 
I'll always remember you as a song with no end 
Here until

Early May 
She was standing in the front yard 
The sun was perfect, the clouds gone missing 
And I couldn't move 
That's when she started crying 
It felt so quick and yet somehow in slow motion 
We're all just boats that sink while falling in love 
with the ocean 

Don't say it comes as any shock 
Things just go and go and go until they stop 
I'll always remember you as a song with no end 
Here until 

The last event 

Don't say it comes as any shock 
Things just go and go and go until they stop 
I'll always remember you as a song with no end 
Here until

The last event
