about

Another quarter-baked pile of Hall & Oates CP-70, Prophet, and Linn Drums. I actually liked a few of the melodies here, but there's SO much yuck here. Lyrics written in about ten minutes, for starter ...

lyrics

Took a little trip
Went around this old world
Took a look inside
What I thought I might find
Found myself running

from what I found in myself
Wanted to run and hide

With a twinkle in your eye
Never known no mean
risk it all just to testify
I know you wanna
Be the one show me how to learn
How to keep it clean
breathe the air let the dead wood burn
And this is why

you can keep your valentines
Silver rings and champagne wine
These old things seem so insincere
In a quiet space, you start to glow
Watch your flower garden grow
It’s the simple things that brought me here

I used to think about
All that glittered was goals
As if the way of love
Was a gold-plated prize
But once I stopped running
Looked back from where I came
Saw you beneath blue skies

With a twinkle in your eye
Never known no mean
risk it all just to testify
I know you wanna
Be the one show me how to learn
How to keep it clean
breathe the air let the dead wood burn
And this is why

you can keep your valentines
Silver rings and champagne wine
These old things seem so insincere
In a quiet space, you start to glow
Watch your flower garden grow
It’s the simple things that brought me here
