Michael McDermott

Michael McDermott is an American folk rock singer. Michael McDermott’s brand of rock n’ roll brims with the kind of well-honed style and wisdom that can only come from a career on the road and a pedigree in the studio. Effortlessly blending natural folk sensibility, pop hooks, and honest rock, McDermott’s music is as much for the outcast as the congregation. It’s an exploration of the dark corners of life’s journey and it resonates middle class truths through the passionate filter of a kid that grew up on Chicago’s Irish South Side. If you are a fan of Springsteen, Van Morrison, John Steinbeck, Patti Smith … McDermott’s inspirational rock is in your wheelhouse, waiting late night with a guitar, spare smokes and stories of the American heart. “McDermott’s m… more »

No matter how hard it might seem to be
Know I'd be there if you ever needed me
Chambers of sound, love lost and found tonight
There's somethin' in the air, somethin' doesn't feel right

If I had a map, I'd guide your troubled path
If I had a smile, I'd lend you mine to laugh
If I had a treasure, you know just what I'd do
If I had a lantern, I'd light the way for you

You always said, "Michael, just play the hand you're dealt"
I don't know if you ever knew how I felt
I wish I could have said the things I always wanted to say
Well, I'm sayin' them now if you can hear me today

If I had some wings, I'd fly you all around
If I had a some money, I'd buy the whole goddamn town
If I had the strength then maybe I could have pulled you through
If I had a lantern, I'd light the way for you
If I had a lantern, I'd light the way for you

One more night of drinkin' and singin' them jukebox tunes
I'd give everything just to spend one more day with you
I'll think of you when the rain comes and I'll find your face in the falling snow
I hope you think of me too, there's one thing you should know  (i'm sorry)

If I had some sunshine, I'd cast it all on you
If had the power, your dreams would all come true
I know you must be frightened too, don't you know that I'm scared too
If I had a lantern, I'd light the way for you
If I had a lantern, I'd light the way for you

Don't hide your love...
