Dreamer

Let it Out

Heard a man named David
Down Carolina way
He can bring you a story
Make light from shades of gray

He can make the verses dance
He can make them shake and cry
In a place called secret town
Where it’s hard to say goodbye

Sometimes he sounds like Dylan
Or the ghost of Satchmo too
And the cowboy they call Tater Totts
Loves sunday morning blues

Heard a man named David
His rhymes swirl in my head
He plays guitar like a demon
Possessed by the holy shred

He’s got a song for everyone 
He’s idles high on caffeine
Then he brings you to your knees
With a tale of seventeen

Sometimes he sounds like Dylan
Or the ghost of Satchmo too
And the cowboy they call Tater Totts
Loves sunday morning blues

Sometimes he sounds like Dylan
Or the ghost of Satchmo too
And the cowboy they call Tater Totts
Loves sunday morning blues

Man Named David

Fire the engines
Close my eyes
Point me east
Clear the skies
I don’t care
Or need to explain
Bring me down
In Poughkeepsie rain

Build your dream
Become a ghost
Say your goodbyes
Say you’ll miss me most
Wrap yourself
In California chains
I’ll be sleeping
Through Poughkeepsie rain

East coast girl
Hudson Valley child
Living so large
In gold coast style
Years go bye
Time is a train
Springtime comes
With Poughkeepsie rain

So give the world
Your charm and soul
Don’t be scared 
Should we grow old
I made my peace
When I chose to remain
Just east of the Hudson
In Poughkeepsie rain
East of the Hudson
In Poughkeepsie rain
Over the walkway
In Poughkeepsie rain

Poughkeepsie Rain

Resta Con Me

"Strawberry Girl" on Heather Hill's newly released album "Leuty Station", was written by Heather Hill and Orville Heyn, and was produced by Orville Heyn. The players include: Heather Hill on vocals/piano, Russ Boswell on bass, Eddie Paton on guitars, and Paul DeLong on drums.

This song is about lasting love (over 50 years) and the reason they met was all about strawberries. The man in the song couldn't help but notice this bathing beauty wearing a strawberry bathing cap and the matching beach bag (think Esther Williams’ Hollywood movies). Their secret is revealed at the end of the song. 

This song is a ballad with elements of Elton John’s guitar driven work from the early 70’s.
