Lyrics:
Directing me
The phone rings, who can it be?
A familiar voice is talking to me.
It can’t be him; he’s been gone so many years.
I listen in disbelief and hear him…
Directing me!~ Grab your biggest bag filled with nothing
and meet me down…
at Farmer Brown’s by the old oak tree.
If you’re quick enough you can see me.
I start my car; I climb out on the hood.
Drive down roads I just don’t recognize.
I hear a voice, almost pleadingly…
Shouting down to me from the highest tree!~
Directing me!~ Grab your biggest bag filled with nothing
and meet me down…
at Farmer Brown’s by the old oak tree.
If you’re quick enough you can see me.
The last time
you said you’re fine
yet I watched you slip out of sight.
I’m not surprised,
I realized, long before you had to go.
As I arrive, I climb the tree.
I see him up above smiling down at me.
He vanishes, I look back down
and all my memories are scattered on the ground!~
They beckon me!~
But here I am again, stranded in a tree.
At Farmer Brown’s, the old oak tree…
I sit up straight in bed and I clutch my knees.
The last time
you said you’re fine
yet I watched you slip out of sight.
I’m not surprised,
I realized, long before you had to go.
Originally posted by PhlabibitI wish I could rec this more than once. This is a milestone in your songwriting as far as I'm concerned. Easily the best thing you've done so far. Well done, you've really matured since this time last year.

Good stuff! But where's the harmonica?
Sometimes it doesn't work either. Might for this one, but if I make it a 4 minute+ song I'm bound to mess up.
My kingdom for a studio or a guitarist willing to put in time while I play 'front man'.
