On and On

oh now little lover
take me home
pull me under your covers
and in the morning
when you are gone
I’ll linger on

from the days when we first met
long road turning rivulets
slow train out to Montreal
I loved it all

somewhere beneath the skies
you turned around love
you passed us by
oh, lover what can I do
waiting for you

this goes on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on and on

from my mansard window
a harper’s song
she sings to me, 
“where have all these lovers gone?”
I’d tell her, love, if I knew
but I’m waiting for you

I go on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on and on

so, oh now little lover
take me home
pull me under your covers
in the morning
when you are gone
I’ll linger on

I go on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on and on

LINER  NOTES:
Vocals for this piece, like the vast majority on the LHW release, were recorded in a 2003 Ford Focus at Land’s End Park in San Francisco. Initially, those recordings were to be a place holders for studio vocals. But, while there were clarity issues, and periodic bird chirping, passing cars, mic mouth, etc., there was also a very distinct energy to the voice tracks that I could not easily find in studio. A very big thanks to Oli Morgan at Abbey Road Studios for mastering this challenging beast of a song. With so many tracks, recorded in so many different places, I’m still apologizing for his significant achievement.
