i get a little excited

it's the complication which slows production
simplicity is the only way to keep things truthful
if you can't do it right, take some numbers on down
to one, two, three. get those right. add more later
looking over the shoulder just to smash into the fencepost
isn't my idea of "got things covered."
greg brown sounds harsh at first
but learn the words and leave the rest behind
and you'll understand that the voice counldn't be any different
to the same effect.
break it down. simply. truly. it will come together.
over you.

yeah, that day

It’s a day where inside I wait
For what none should tell
But for me I will sit

I’ll sit and stare and take in and out
The snow the air the musing about
And what to my wandering eyes should appear
But nothing
Again nothing
To spark my external drive to speak laugh love care
Know see
Anything

It’s the gray, they say, the oppressive gray
Blanketing us
Oh that 16 feet per 5 miles curse
Each wave desperately trying to reach my eye
To give me some sense of what’s more
They can’t reach, the bend has won

And my day will again by dressed in dark
Blessed for none
And here to stay
