about

Cowboys on the prairie, campfire crackling, long days work behind...yeah I'm getting carried away. These are some of the images that come to mind when I listen to this. I wrote it as the tablecloth for this album. The opening song which all the rest, sets upon. It has a mournful quality, but hopeful and peaceful. I'm realizing that nothing on this planet is worth much at all, unless it looks like love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, meekness, and faith. There's no law against those things, and if there is, it's time for me to go.

Mastered by Bruce Neher at Disc & Dat.

lyrics

The older I get I see all my regret
As misplaced semi precious stones
So now I will set every one of them
Into the long forging of my bones

My heart was a rock until you snatched it up
And changed it into a heart of gold

Now I breathe in the air of life without care
No I need not, no I want not anymore
