Musical Update...
New songs I wrote during 2009
The Moonshine is Dead
Oh now the sunshine is totally dead
Darling Mary Anna is buttering her bread
Her and her sisters are new to this town
Traveling on rainbows and dressed in black gowns
Let's get all fired up and count down the days
Until we are all amazed
Oh now the moonshine is totally dead
Darling Mary Anna is wrapped up in threads
Her and her brothers are new to this town
Dazed and confused and riding around
Let's get all fired up and count down the days
Until we are all amazed

Of Our Kind
his mind obeys frosty peace
his soul resides within our beasts
but if they growl we do beseech
join us now, join us now, inside us now
we invented ice blue with fire
hoping liars would keep us alive
but the tree of life is built of pine
of our kind, of our kind, it’s all of our kind
black cats roam among our crowd
our allies dressed in feathered crowns
fair weather dancers are rarely found
inside our children, inside us now, inside us now
we invented liars and tears of rain
as if they were free from speckled pain
but our tears are dead and dry as pine
of our kind, of our kind, it’s all our kind
now we know the measured minds
are huddled round the better times
our saddened faces call for rain
but not this time, not this time, not of this time
our vineyards caught out blackest times
we hoped the liars would drink our wine
would raise our spirits tall as pines
of our kind, of our kind, it’s all our kind
