about
One of my earliest surviving tracks, and one of the first good songs I wrote and recorded. Production quality is obviously primitive (I think at this time I was using a microphone that came with some language software and plugging it directly into my SoundBlaster).
lyrics
I'd like to walk with you
Into the empty morning
With a big smile on your face
It's a wonder I can do
Anything everything at all
It's friday night again
Quitting time
Never comes quite soon enough
What makes the people run
Outside my field of view
Like a chosen apparition
It's friday night again
Who's that man
Walking over by the courthouse
He's looking kind of lost
Like a man without a clue
Or maybe he's just happy
Like he's his own best friend
Come and watch
Your favorite tv show
They're the friends you never had
In time you will be blue
But now the sky is clearing
Just staring at the tube
Take a step in the water
If it's too cold then wait for a while
The sun is coming out
If only you weren't an only child
Gray is in the winter
And in the fall everything turns red
But fortunatley always for me
It's summer in my head
Into the empty morning
With a big smile on your face
It's a wonder I can do
Anything everything at all
It's friday night again
Quitting time
Never comes quite soon enough
What makes the people run
Outside my field of view
Like a chosen apparition
It's friday night again
Who's that man
Walking over by the courthouse
He's looking kind of lost
Like a man without a clue
Or maybe he's just happy
Like he's his own best friend
Come and watch
Your favorite tv show
They're the friends you never had
In time you will be blue
But now the sky is clearing
Just staring at the tube
Take a step in the water
If it's too cold then wait for a while
The sun is coming out
If only you weren't an only child
Gray is in the winter
And in the fall everything turns red
But fortunatley always for me
It's summer in my head
