Burn Pile


white space audio
Baby your cold shoulder
Is a pile of ancient wood
All it needs is a spark
To get it burning real good
We used to talk in colors yeah
Now we sit here in the dark
I’d rather burn it to the ground
Than sit here and watch it fall apart

Chorus:
I’ll get the matches
Go find the kerosine
It’s too late for lying baby
It’s time to just come clean
You pour it all out
We’ll go out in style…
We’ll make a raging fire
Out of this burn pile

So come on out with it
All the trouble on your mind
Put a light to the silence
You so often hide behind
Keep your words to yourself babe
Using silence like a shield
I can’t get past the darkness
To find out how you really feel

Straight into Goodbye

Lyrics

Another week, and my game cam is still badly misaligned.  So I ordered a new mount, and made another video.

Like Glass into Sand Video

Lyrics

So the tree one of my security cameras was on fell during a recent storm, and I had an aiming fail when I reinstalled it. So I made a music video for one of my favorite Jeffrey/Newsome songs.

Lindy Blue Star

Lyrics

I wrote this song about a character in another song on one of my favorite, obscure 70’s records.

Before I Fall

Before I Fall

Well I guess we’ve put this off for another year
All that’s left is saying what no one wants to hear
I’ve got places I want to go
And you’ve got ones you don’t
So let me slide away before I fall

Chorus:
Watch me slip and slide as I go
A ghost out in the winter glow
I see the water below
So dark, so cold, so nice
Here on thin ice

I’ll miss those nights on the town all polished like chrome
But lately you’ve been staying pretty close to home
I only hope it’s by your choice
You can’t hear the siren with a rheumatoid voice
So let me slip away before I fall

Chorus
Watch me slip and slide as I go
A ghost out in the winter glow
I see the water below
So dark, so cold, so nice
Here on thin ice

Bridge
The light on your porch chases me like a lighthouse through the fog
A howl through the trees sounds a little bit like your dog
But there’s no point in turning around
There’s nothing back there that wants to be found

Chorus:
Watch me slip and slide as I go
A ghost out in the winter glow
I see the water below
So dark, so cold, so nice
Here on thin ice
