1.
what you coulda become, all the teenage dreams,and then suddenly, its all undone but I saw you, I saw you,i heard your,i felt you and if it takes all my life I wanna find you again
2.
will I see my friends again? I've noticed your Facebook page is full of fresh graves, all the old punks dying, all the flames receding,and when we all stopped touring we started disappearing,we took it all for granted more wild nights are coming soon, hugs in the alleys, laughter in the bars, but as our lives begin dissolving these friendships start fading so will I see my friends again?
3.
oh I've never been the same since I turned my back to flee but it all comes down on me anyway
4.
5.
they give you fuck all for your time, this government will steal your lights you work all week and feel like cropland all your days you won't get them back-but when she walked through the door-i stopped thinking about what killed me before ...
6.
BOTTLES 03:10
golden dolls, millions of little golden dolls, sunlight trapped inside them,percentages rising, bottles sent from heaven-you say you'll stop but you'll never stop
7.
the anchors weigh you down, the aspirin wears you out, gemini ballads in the afternoon, whispers in the birches, bad times are coming soothe wind blows low through your personal gallows pole and the moths are racing to the weary last light but theres always further you can fall
8.
9.
out of my eggshell I read a thousand words just like this, just trying to work it out, just trying to express, just trying to do our best
10.
Julie,the bride with the black eye Julie,thinks that heavens hidden by the sky Julie,trying to find something to change but Julie some of us never wanted to be saved
11.
baby don't walk out on your darling man, don't break my balloon, for reflections in an empty room and just like nick drake and just like bill fay whispering brief moments for the end of frail days
12.
everybody's waiting to say-i know what I'm fighting for but I'm not gonna anymore

about

honeyblue ballads of wild sorrow for blue afternoons -that what it says on the side of the tin -melancholy melodies have there place -for those aching to be,waiting for there ship to come in, hoping for the gold, these souvenirs of blue for you made with care and attention (even the mistakes) because every blue afternoon can be followed by a beautiful morning x

credits

released September 1, 2023

acoustic and electric guitars,pianos ,mandolins, strings,drums,tambourines,bells,organs,autoharps,etcetra done by me with the help of modern technology-everything else done by ghosts in the machine-i wrote every word and tune except 'since I lost you' and 'roll on forever' which were by starry eyed and laughing -who made amazing British Byrds folk rock records in the hinterland smoke of early 70s and Alan Tyler and the Rockingbirds from the fantastic 2nd LP -and all the words I might have nicked by mistake or by design
