Originally released as "Trip To Pine" May 17, 2010 on the album Trip To Pine.
lyrics
Walking down the lane's rain gutters
my footfalls mark the beat
Christmas morning, yesteryear
I dreamt of Vietnam, Cambodia,
Downtown main street
As I try to clear my mind of rhyme
I find myself at the heart of all matter
Age is made by accepting change or by staying plain
An unwilling batter
(Chorus)
And I think of home again
And wonder, then, how long it's been
Since I've been able to clear my head
To sleep at night in my own bed
Resistant old man, accept the new plan
Take my hand
Like Peter Pan, lead me to some brand new land
(Ch)
A blood-stained mind of feeble design
We trip to the pine
For the cold, dark line
Where I feel the whine of an elephant's spine
