Return to the Meadows

 

First released on The Silent Request EP 1998

 

Return to the meadows

there won't be fields of gold

nothing but memories

of all the friends you sold

the future is coming down

and it's starting to rain

and all that your future is

is to escape the pain

 

Return to the meadows

its not full of gold

but something far better

its different though I'm told

something better for every soul

something powerful to behold

 

return to the meadows

just watch out for the snakes

 

solo

 

there's no gravity here

if your mind floats so free

and no one notices

who you're trying to be

 

Note:

Written and recorded on Feb. 12, 1998, the lyrics are really silly, and the subject is vague, but I just really enjoy listening to this song. Sometimes the spontaneous things are the best, you know? This is an example of an improvisation gone well.
