LYRICS
It’s not a joke
All of us will croak
But, like the Crocus
All of us
Can spring forth again
Like an Iris I am

It’s OK to be a Pansy
When you spring to life so easily
Sun or part shade
No need to be afraid
Moist, well drained
Voiced, well brained

Sprout like a Daffodil
Get your life’s fill
Don’t take a toll on your soul
Narcissus ilk not narcissistic
Trumpet birth in the Spring
And, the sprouting it will bring

Fourth Base .mp3 (free music download)

Though never a big league ball player, I do enjoy playing the All-American-Past-Time from time-to-time. The one thing that does come to mind is when a youngster is on base… and a bigger fellow hits a home run. You can yell, “Run to first.” You can yell, “Run to second.” You can yell, “Run to third.” However, if you yell, “Run home” you run the risk that the lad will do just that. Thus, the name of the song *Fourth Base*

ADDITIONAL LYRICS
You Might find it funny
But, you’re already home

There ya go strutting down the street
Always in search of your comfort zone
You don’t need to beat an easy feat
You’re never alone if you’re always at home
It’s within your reach… you don’t need to roam
You may find it funny, but you’re already home

No need to reach
No need to roam
Self teach
No moan

You might find it funny, but you’re already home

ABOUT THE SONG
Daniel — vocals, guitar
The song was written and recorded in Ambler and West Chester, Pennsylvania on an 8-track digital recorder. 1 track was used for guitar. 2 tracks were used for a stereo vocal track. 3 tracks were used for individual backing vocals. 2 tracks were used to create a stereo master mix.

The inspiration for the guitar lick and the lyrics came from the vibe of the people passing by.

Capo 6
Play an Em on the 11th fret… and let your finger wander.
