What ever time it takes
How ever long it may take

Horse of a different color
You show who you really are
Horse of a different color
Forgot who we really our

Can you hear me
Clearly
Or do you have to strain
From echoes in the brain

Growing old and the senses are going
Try to take in what you can
And hope you can keep on storing
Listen back… again and again

You take a look n’ see

Come on in here
Learn n’ love… hunker
At Bob’s Country Bunker
Enjoy the atmosphere
Memories to hold dear

It’s dawning on me
That it’s sunset at Fest

You hold it dearly

At the Azzoles?
Keep going still…
Just past the Roost… Until
You get a Stage Trip that’ll fulfill

And, if there is something troubling you
This is what you do
Grab my hand and jump about

Not asking for pity

Just begging for a lil' mercy

Let the earth settle
Then, the blocks will stack

I wanna sing like a lark

Hey, hey, hwy! We’re talking shades of grey

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 2
E / A / G

Written and recorded on July 6, 2012 in Ocean City, New Jersey. It was the eighth day of heat wave… even the beach was brutal. Then, at about 5PM, this strange fog started rolling in. As I was writing the music, I could see the eyes of children popping out of the mist. It made me think how great it is that kids don’t live in a fog… with their heads in the clouds.

LYRICS
Perhaps when you block-out ugly
You inhibit your ability to see?
A fault by default
Clearly on your part

Perhaps when you block-out ugly
You inhibit your ability to see?
If you think you can’t take it
It’s time to make it
Real

Where goes your nightmare
Where goes thee
Lost sole. Blank stare
Where goes your nightmare?
Do you wanna be?
Where goes your nightmare?
Dare go there

LYRICS
Why go to where the gray turns black
A place where there is no turning back
Move it on up ’cause the tide’s coming in
A whole new cycle getting ready to begin

The pages blowing in the wind
No time for Man to unwind
Rather make a pact to adapt
Wind-up. Then, we’re apt
To buoy a beginning
Of a brand new happening

Where the hydrogen and oxygen separate
The sea meets the sky
Where the clouds part you can start
To see the light
And, you just might
Put up a fight
For it’s the struggle to survive
That keeps us alive

LYRICS
Where the sky parts from the see
The ocean waves goodbye
There’s a sigh in the air
A sigh in the error

Why not choose what’s best for humanity
Instead of just for you or me
Overthrow the overlords
Of disparity

With the vision of the Viking
No one is best suited to be king
With the vision of Charlemagne
Try to alleviate suffering and pain

No need to cross an expansive sea
To contemplate the fate of society
No need for flight from the storm
No need for blight, nor for harm

At the very least, you just might get eaten
By a slightly larger beast

(Wonder) who will remain?

Whatever it is
There are so many ways it can be done
1) The puzzle is to recognize it is a puzzle.
2) The trick is to recognize the best solution.

When accepting guidance from above
When accepting guidance from the heart
The answer is instantly easy to see
As well as, when to start

You’ll know it’s now
You’ll know just how
Understanding,
The impact of your action
On the faction
Comprehending
The ramification
On the population

You’ll know you’ve won
When you know you’re one
