Just Like You- Afraid to stand alone, we go into battle aligned with one side or the other. Which side are you on? Do you really need one of those sides? Path- Wonderful chords on this one - both of them! You who seek love and happiness will find all you deserve on the inside. Come Back Home to Me- I believe true love also exists inn the animal kingdom. The way that dove sang his song led me to believe he had a serious case of heartache. Young Man- Is 35 young or old? Monochrome Blue- Sometimes blue sky can be exhausting. Love and Song- Inspired by my experiences with a Lakota sweat lodge. Other than my flesh, love and song is all I can give back to the earth. Wildwood- The best celebrations happen with loved ones out in the wild. We're going on an adventure, who's coming with me? Karakoram- Called to your death by enormous mountain peaks, called to your life by enormous mountain peaks: a climber's lament. Cold Tonight on the Mountainside- A love affair can cure mountain fever and take you through the darkest winter. I wrote the lyrics before a performance at Equinox Brewery. If You Knew, What Would You Do?- You can be prepared for a snake bite, but never for a mental breakdown. The Medicine Only Knows- From who, what, when, where and why do you seek assistance? Love and gratitude to my soulmate, Marie, as well as Kris, Kira, Matt, Gregg Adams, Dawn Duncan, Lehne and Marc, Bailey and Dennis, and to Momma, Dada, Tina family, friends, stage mates and fans for their eternal love and support.
