About This Track

'Devon' by Grimes is a 2010 electronic track from 'Halfaxa'. The lyrics frame a waiting, love-lorn plea, with the singer insisting on staying put even as they’re urged to go. In one line they address a partner with "Oh, my love, I'll wait", then return to the idea of holding on and being guided by the heart. The voice is both devotional and stubborn, turning the day-long vigil into an argument for love rather than movement.

"Devon" is a track by Grimes, from the album Halfaxa, released 3rd August 2010. The track is 4:30 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about Grimes.

Lyrics

Devon

Ah-ah, ah-oh
Yeah

Oh, my love, I'll wait
I am waiting here all day
And I'm nothing without you
When you and I were, and I loved you

Oh, my love, I know
That you are asking me to go
And I know I am holding onto dust
But my heart is telling me I'm right

Take my hand if you care
I can be your girl
You'll be my man
But you don't love me anymore
And I've never felt so broken up before
(I am well, I am well, I am well)

Ooh, baby darling
I will wait before
Ooh, baby darling
I will wait before
Ooh, long night
I will wait before
Ooh, every night
I will wait before, before
I die, I die, I die, I

Oh, my love, I know
That you are asking me to go
And I know I am holding onto dust
But my heart is telling me I'm right

Take my hand if you can
I can be your girl
You'll be my man
But you don't love me anymore
And I've never felt so broken up before
(I am well, I am well, I am well)

    How Marika Hackman turned lockdown writer’s block into ‘Covers’

    Released in November 2020, Marika Hackman’s ‘Covers’ found a route around the blank page: ten songs she already knew well, rebuilt at home with a drum machine, sparse production and room for experimentation.
