lyrics

Memory lane is just a dirt road on the Mesa
When the daytime moon-reverie makes you relive
Another man’s life in a little house by the seaside
Where the waves will make you forget if you forgive

All of that dust in the air just adds to the beauty
& the sun’s going down behind a pink velvet veil
The fisherman’s daughter & son now live in the valley
Sending family photographs by the mail

A handful of sand for my son
& a seashell for my daughter
& a song from down in the deep blue sea
Remember me

Their voices still echo in the cry of the seagull
Their toys are still out there in the autumn rain
I still hear their little feet on the staircase
& I know in my heart I will see them again

This record is straight whiskey. Tom Waits would be proud."—AMERICANA HIGHWAYS ... more
