From myspace: Since 1989, Glenn Jones has led Boston’s “avant -garage” instrumental rock band, Cul de Sac, whose musical adventures are documented on nine albums to date, including a soundtrack for cult-director Roger Corman, and collaborations with guitarist John Fahey and former Can vocalist Damo Suzuki.

In 2004, Jones stepped out of the long shadow cast by Takoma’s guitar visionaries and offered his own "new possibility"—This Is the Wind That Blows It Out—for Strange Attractors Audio House. Its release was followed by a month-long tour of Europe with guitarist Jack Rose. Jones has since shared bills with Steffen Basho-Junghans, Max Ochs, Matt Valentine / Erika Elder; along with Rose, he’s toured with Peter Lang, and with some of the best of the new breed of solo guitar upstarts: Harris Newman, Sean Smith, and James Blackshaw, among others

Here I Am
Glenn Jones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Honey I know, I know what's on your mind
You think that I just want to have a real good time
But look a little closer baby, you never know what you might find
The things I'll do for you girl will blow your mind
And if you're ready here I am, willing and able
Tell you no lies, I'll lay my cards on the table
This could be what we've both been waiting for
So take my hand you don't have to look no more

If you want a heart that's true
Someone who will see you through
Here I am I belong to you
Baby I know you won't regret
Baby for you I'll do my best
Here I am I belong to you

Oh love never comes easy, a game of give and take
Sometimes your heart may break
But in the end it all will work out
Just put your trust in me, never doubt

If you want a heart that's true
Someone who will see you through
Here I am I belong to you
Baby I know you won't regret

Baby for you I'll do my best
Here I am I belong to you
