Lyrically Speaking
11 AprWoke up in Portland
Woke up in Portland
Man oh Man
Can’t tell ya
Where we began
A trail of tales
Between here and the sand
Now we’re back on the road
To make our stand
There’s salt in the trees
From the ocean’s breeze
And I just wanna drive
…
Leave all this pain behind
I see the same
In my brother’s eyes
So we’ll just drive
To the other side
Climb these trees
Inside our mind
Lock the world outside
For the meantime
There’s salt in the trees
From the ocean’s breeze
And I just wanna drive
…
Leave all this pain behind
Landrew said that music
Would set us free
Us sick ones
Lost on this highway sea
And I believe
So we’ll turn him up
Head for Aberdeen
There’s salt in the trees
From the ocean’s breeze
And I just wanna drive
…
Leave all this pain behind
…
Leave it … all behind

Etching LOVE into the Wood of the Universal tree of existence
1 AprPlanet Landrew
I know your kind
Your soul leaves footprints in the snow
Of the heart on your sleeve
Leaving a trail
Few follow
Or ever see
The blood of your being
Dripping from your words
Breadcrumbs for some
Willing to walk that winding path
(Food for me)
And my star stretched thoughts
Your smile reminds me
Of songs we wrote in another life
Your pain –
The foundation for “pain ting”
You were a painter
Full of a pain that had to live in you
I saw the story in your eyes
That could only partially be told
The rest … a playful placation
To the world around you
A gift
The star blazed trail
Your comet tail left us
Burning brilliantly into the endless night
A path to Olympus
Paved with your melodies and dreams

The “old” school
23 MarThere’s going to come a time
When people stop giving in to the madness
When they kick sadness
To the curb
And start playing in the sun again
