Selected Lyrics

For A Little While

Just tonight for a little while as I was walking in the rain
Just for a little while I thought you were back again
Just for a little while...



Performed for Writer's Bloc Song Along, April 2003. Selected for forthcoming CD Emeralds & Other Gems - release date Fall 2003

Oh My Darling

Oh, my darling, I wanna walk with you
down by the flowers that are still in bloom
And inhale the scents of truth and innocence
to remember when I knew what those things meant...



Also known as "The Soldier Song". Performed for Writer's Bloc Home event. Selected for There's No Place Like Home CD, 2002 - release date January 2003

Thank You, Angel

She was standing on the corner with a hat in her hand
Waiting for the light to change before approaching the van,
A worn-down woman with no shoes on her feet...



"Based on a true encounter, I wrote it 2 years before it was chosen for inclusion in the educational documentary video, Living on the Edge...of Homelessness, produced by Family Services Centre of Ottawa and Carleton University; directed by Harry Price. He used it in the closing montage." Released October, 2002.

Setting Free the Dove

Hmmmm, well I've been stranded in this place
Where a woman can't show her face
I've been keeping my own counsel
you might say...



"I wrote one verse of this between September 11th and October 14th, before the war started but only finished it for the Song Along." Selected for 10th Annual Song Along CD, April 2002

Nothin' Bout The Road

She was last seen in Kaladar, staring at the road
That took her love to its stone-grey heart and
Spoke to him in code....

Call the Love Police

Well, I'm a poor little lamb, aint got no fleece
Since he stole my heart, call the love police.
Call the love, call the love, call the love police
...yeah...



"a unanimous choice for inclusion on theSong Along 2000 CD" - Dean Verger, producer

Photographer

My...heart is like an old photographer,
Sifting through a stack of negatives,
Tryin' to find the one that gets
The contrast right...



"an excellent song, very avant-garde, kind of Punk in a way" - David Wiffen
