about

I wrote this song sitting along Kachemak Bay in Homer, Alaska, singing for the birds and otters and wild dogs there, thinking about a girl a few thousand miles down the Pacific coast.

lyrics

Sitting down by the bay
watching airplanes come in
they’re floating on air, passing me by.
Looking out at far off mountains,
things we cannot touch.
Oceans and islands are all
that lie between us.

The cost of love
is getting higher every day
I don’t know when I will be willing to pay.
People come from somewhere else,
then they move on.
I hope when I get back
what we had won’t be long gone.

Hitching down the Sterling highway,
tryin’ out my luck.
People take me in their cars, take me away.
How could it be, that I met you
right when I was gonna leave?
Was I wrong, not to change my plans?
Tell me that I can believe in you.

Light from above, lead me my way,
make me feel new
as time comes crashing in on me.
