03 The Honorable Mention

all i want is to see you is to see you all i want is a day away one more chance to be you one more chance for me to hear you say ....
   love & distance are forever but love & distance aren't forever 
  i'd walk all day just to see you again took a trail that ran along the shore came around just to free you to loose the hinges off of your old door ...
  love & distance are forever but love & distance aren't forever ...


04 Love & Distance

sun just went t behind a cloud again and you wonder if she is your friend it's the story of your life to be tongue tied .. change  your tune and then return again & wonder if you've gone around the bend switch the urgent to delay to be ok ..wake and check your horoscope and then trace & track what you've been doin man but you don't if its real or if it's a dream .. staring down at your cell telephone another message from old so & so  it's the story of your life  not worth the time .. 

05 Story Of Your Life

are you still hangin out ? still not making out ? doin well without me ? you said you'd take it all dared the axe to fall i guess you're never comin down babe ..
baby out of the blue 
are you still runnin free ? still got your master key ? i thought you'd seen it all before you said you were satisfied but  you laid down and died can  you see it all comin true babe ? 
baby out of the blue 
i saw you yesterday your covers blown away but you're still holdin out  for more you touch your pleasure pearls and wait for someone to adore you 
baby out of the blue 
you said you were satisfied but  you laid down and died can  you see it all comin true for you ? you're not the only one just look what you've become theres a million more like you babe 
baby out of the blue

06 Out Of The Blue

 the movie of your life is over pull back the curtain and you'll see a theater that's in foreclosure and you've just been asked to leave and once you see it all 
  you're all gone .. 
 
 we  stayed  the first night in the desert and the second by the sea  just as long as we're together then everything's alright with me 
 and once you see it all 
  you're all gone ... 
no harps no horns no voices golden no angel choir salutes the sun just a cosmic crawl back to the ocean start it over you've just begun 
 and once you see it all 
  you're all gone ... 



02 Cosmic Crawl

walking down a path 
do you want the truth or don't you ? 
but truth is only half 
of a curious situation 

  all right now .. be strong  .. 

then you've got to ask 
does your baggage give you balance ? 
because in the final task 
your Siddartha road is waiting ... 

all right now .. be calm  ...

01 Siddartha Road

wrote this years ago for my two sons  ... the sentiment still holds true ..

 ( for Phil & Dan ) 

i don't care who hears this song or if they think it's sappy
because i wrote it for you kids & i hope it makes you happy 
i love this time we have and i know that it will not last forever.. so i don't have time right now to try & be clever 
   and if one day you see  birds singing in your family tree ..remember you & me & be .. forever grateful ..

remember when you were a kid & you'd just hang outside all summer ?  well try and stay that age and fill the pages of all your days with color.. i'm looking over photographs of you from a time when you were little ..  life has a beginning & an ending but what matters is in the middle ..

and if one day you see birds singing in your family tree ..
remember you & me & be ..forever grateful ..

and don't  you let yourself get down no matter how much out there gets to you ..because i know you'll work it out and i'm layin all my bets on you..and i don't care who hears this song or if they think it's sappy .. because of all the times i've had ,
  just to be your dad are the ones that have made me happiest .. 
 and if one day you see a bird singing in your family tree ..
remember you & me & be ...forever grateful .. forever grateful .. forever grateful .. forever grateful ..


07 Forever Grateful

This song is dedicated to NW Folk Legend Colin Spring .
My old friend & songwriting mentor in a way, I suppose.
  I was kinda missing him one night, so I sat down and tried to write a story song like he would've done. He was the master at that . Well, I suppose I did, but it turns out the song was about him too ! 
  Rumor had it that he went the other direction and hopped the border fence near Tijuana when he heard  Donald Trump was running for President . Another version claimed he was being held hostage in a Mexican Camp for the grossly underweight  (see photo). A new rumor recently popped up that he's on the move & became a carny .  I guess the truth is no one really knows What Happened to Colin Spring. 
   Anyway, I hope he gets deported back to the States where he belongs but just in case that doesn't happen, we've set up a fund for the poor guy . All proceeds from the sale of this song go directly into purchasing him a one way plane ticket home .
I miss my buddy .. my cabron .    Enjoy ! 
~ Quakers on Probation ~         ( lyrics ) 
Colin was tall a curly headed guy & all 
he had lots of friends that he knew from way back when  
& 200 songs yeah he would just sing and carry on 
&  tell bad jokes for fun like the one about the rabbi & the nun 
now his whereabouts unknown...
 gonna find him no turn left unstoned...
heard he headed south & took up with a girl who  had a filthy mouth
he learned some espanol  what a pity that he gave up on the rock n roll 
but anyone who knows that cabron knows the story goes 
that if you crack a beer well he might just magically reappear
Mexico send that gringo home ...
I miss my buddy my cabron ...
Mexico please deport my friend 
I kinda miss him & I'll make sure that he don't get out again
