"Maybe there's as many ways to fall as footprints!" :D - nice

This is one of my favourites of yours so far this year. I dunno. Just feeling this one. Love the use of the theme, love the guitar and feel to it.

Yup what Kent said, I really like the feel of this song.

LOVE the atmosphere of this one, especially the guitar. Wonderful simple images, magical.

I love this SO MUCH, it would take me years to explain it.

What a great groove! Elvis Costello would sing thus well. But you’d sing it better.

Oh, James, this is great. Such vivd imagery in the lyrics, and the bends & grit in yiur voice shape the story beautifully.

"Olive Branch" (#340, 200425)

Dirt so dry can’t feel my eyes
Sun as hot as a supermodel
Every part of this heavy heart
Dark brown like an empty bottle

Shattered that the shine we had
When everything was young
The magic dust is all but lost
Dissolved and come undone

Guess you crossed some kind of line seven years ago
Left it all behind you on the shoulder of the road
I was walkin’ west into the sunset when it hit me
Twenty miles outside Olive Branch Mississippi

All four wheels are spinnin’ still
Soul is outta’ gas
Filled her up like diesel but
Couldn’t make it last

Maybe they’s as many ways
To fall as there is footprints
Only got a single shot
For freedom and I took it

Guess you crossed some kind of line seven years ago
Left it all behind you on the shoulder of the road
I was walkin’ west into the sunset when it hit me
Twenty miles outside Olive Branch Mississippi
