She said let's talk about the weather
I said like "weather" or not you love me anymore?
She said I think it would be better
if maybe you didn't see me anymore
I said then turn out the lights
and then lay down with me
I promise not to look
She smiled and told me goodnight
said you’re much too clever
but you should save it for your book
I said I think you are so gorgeous
with your bleach blonde hair
and your silver platform shoes
and all the people at the office
think you’re so far out
you're living on the moon
and I just really believe
that the sun gets brighter
with every breath you take
and when you're looking at me
my souls ignited and floating off in space
When I first saw you at the college
your hair was brown and you sat all by yourself
Right there beneath the tree of knowledge
with your naked soul just crying out for help
and I just couldn't believe that I'd found
somebody who recognized my soul
and everything that you said was just
variations on everything I know
Now all I ever really want to do
is be alone with you
and melt into your
kiss of cinnamon
Walk into the winter night alone
with you down forest trails
past looming silos
by the frozen lake
A true hidden treasure of a song writer. This gent has been capturing songs in demo form on old tape recorders since the 80s. . . and he's still capturing his magic sounds in his secret basement. Damien Youth
Such a joy to see live at Pappy & Harriet's and here's to your 70th - may the next trip around the sun bring you the joy you have brought us
