A quick demo recorded directly to my phone -- just me, a ukulele, a wooden box doubling as drum, and ruminations on mortality.

Hold the hand
The man who gave my life to me
Lies upon the bed that is his last
So far gone
Beyond “Where do you hope to be?”
Now just looking forward through the past 

Inhale follows
Exhale follows
Until the number’s counted
When you’ve drawn the final one
What will you see before you?
I hope to God it’s

Love the time
The rhyme of all the days we shared
Living tandem lives upon the wind
Ever scared
The plans we’ve dared may end un-done
But better that than too scared to begin

Inhale follows
Exhale follows
Until the number’s counted
When you’ve drawn the final one
What will you see before you?
I hope to God it’s
Love

Hold the hand
The man who gave my life to me
Lies upon the bed that is his last

Hope to God (iphone demo)

Written upon my return from Armenia in the summer of 1989. The melody of the chorus section was significantly improved by Doug Anderson.

I'm Lonely

You and I keep our distance
Pretending we aren't as close as the same
And how we both love to play this game
But we know that the distance is a game
That our real life is a dance

You and I share our laughter
With sweet, dark eyes that have grown from our touch
I didn't know I could love this life so much
But I'm glad that you've given me the chance
That you've let me have this dance

We keep spinning and spinning and spinning around
With the world standing still on the floor
We keep spinning and spinning and spinning around
With an orbit more close than before
We keep spinning and spinning and spinning around
With the world standing still on the floor
We keep spinning and spinning and spinning around
With an orbit more close than before

I keep spinning and spinning and spinning around
Pulled by the one I adore
