about

This is the weirdest tune on the record with a strange chord progression. I spent quite a long time thinking about this one while walking around town and finally settled on the romantic theme. Drove me crazy trying to figure it out but finally got a good arrangement.

lyrics

I know you've heard it all before
But I'm still knockin' on your door
Eventhough I know I'm an afterthought
I will lie with you by forgotten shores
By the sea ignored

And I know I got it all wrong
Cause I've been fightin way too long
And I'm waitin on all the clouds to break
They can show the sun or meld to gray
And though I know I'm an afterthought
We will take the night as the days grow long
In the summer warmth

And we walked along the ocean
hypnotized by its giant breaths
Like a little child who runs on her way
completely unaware of her mother's gaze
Yeah we will fall into the haze
yeah, we'll drift afloat til the end of days
Til the end of days

I would love to fingerpick and sing just like Blind Blake but as everyone knows, this is like becoming the Buddha.
