Slow down, lie down, remember it's just you and me
Don't sell out, bow out, remember how this used to be
I just want you closer is that alright, baby let's get closer tonight
Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me
Now I've found, that I'm bound, to wander down that one-way road
And I realise all about your lies, but I'm no wiser than the fool that I was before
I just want you closer is that alright, baby let's get closer tonight
Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me
Baby, baby, baby, tell me how can, how can this be wrong?

Perfect seg from Ray Lamontagne, Bill—and though this guy has a little Ben Harper in him—you'll notice a definite accent. I'm not sure where from, but I think it really adds to his inflection and delivery—makes his voice quite unique and cool. Just like Ray L.
Ben Harper called. He wants his voice back.
Don't actually know anything about this guy, or who came first, but I definitely thought it was Ben Harper.

First comment again - yippee! :o) (EDIT: drat,just beaten to it)
This is uncomfortably reminiscent of James Blunt, though not quite as irritating, with shades of Rod Stewart. Pretty MOR IMHO. 4 from the Nottingham jury.

First... and he lives just up the road...

Scottish! They got him to tone-down his accent for the CD, likely to appeal more to a US audience. But if you can find him live (check YouTube), or get a copy of his "Live at the Isle of Wight Festival", you will hear his full beautiful voice and accent. There is also a fantastic video of him live on Leno. I get goosebumps every time I listen to him. Maybe some of my Canadian Scottish genes bubbling away...
