In the Year of Us - The Strums
 
On the road we've travelled forever 
On the backs of us we've won
There's nowhere we can't go together
Now the year's been said and done.
 
And the days are back to October
with the less we see the sun.
But unmoved we look now to the winter
In the place to which we've come.
 
Chorus:
But it's nice to finally be here
and we left our bags behind
with the year's gone by, time'll always fly
to the new days yet to come...
to the new days yet to come.
 
Now we sit and roll with the weather
when it rains we're kept from the sea
When the sun's gone we can't forget her
Cause she'll be back soon, you'll see
 
And on day's I sit there and remember
how the sun set on her back in the west
But those days now lay a year behind her
As she lays down beside me to rest
 
Chorus: 
But it's nice to finally be here
and we left our bags behind
with the year's gone by, that will always fly
to the new days yet to come...
to the new days yet to come.
 
Chorus: 
But it's nice to finally be here
and we left our bags behind
with the year gone by, time'll always fly
to the new days yet to come...
to the new days yet to come.

In the Year of Us

After the Hole - Lyrics

All I seen is what I thought I would have seen
At the end all I found were other ends

Suddenly I know, you live to know after the hole

On the screech of the city brakes I heard your name
Feel as though we're living in a recurrent dream

Suddenly I know, you live to know after the hole

And the life is after the hole

And the life is after the hole

Strange Part of the Country

After the Hole

What a joy it was to play Pat's hand-built guitar in this series of improvisational musings.  This one is also in Drop D tuning drawing  inspiration from Fahey to Beethoven, but no inspiration more prominent than Pat himself in our friendship and collaborations.  As in the previous parts, only reverb was added to enhance the ambience of the guitar sound, no tonal filters were used.

For My Friend--Part 3 Miscellaneous Musings

Intro 
Who you gonna call when the news gets here
A new generation closes up in fear
Now these days are spent to leave this place
Cuttin' ties, just in case it's gone.

Where ya gonna go where there is no light
right the wrongs, stand the test time
and you'll know, we all know we can't run this time

So meet me soon at the jump off point
take my heart leave it all behind
It's cold and blue but I'd rather not die
right the wrongs, stand the test of time.
...with you, just one more time.
So meet me at the jump off point
take my heart and leave this all behind!

Outro 
meet me soon, just one more time...

Jumping Off

Goddess of the underworld 
Mistress of the afterlife 

As Persephone 
Gathered flowers 
Hades intervened 
To drag her downward 

When he opened up the earth 
Persephone was swallowed 
And such remained her curse 
As witnessed by Apollo 

Oh oh oh oh 
Persephone 
Oh oh oh oh 
What's left for 
What's left for me? 

Goddess of the underworld 
Mistress of the afterlife 

Demeter roamed the land 
To find her daughter 
She did not understand 
Where Hades brought her 

And she searched relentlessly 
Till a fountain filled her spirit 
And she cried: "Persephone" 
Who alas, could never hear it 

Oh oh oh oh 
Persephone 
Oh oh oh oh 
What's left for 
What's left for me? 

Goddess of the underworld 
Mistress of the afterlife 

Come Spring she'd be set free 
Winter remanded 
He fed Persephone 
A pomegranate 

Goddess of the underworld 
Mistress of the afterlife
