Location: boulder | if I remember correctly, from his "Whale Meet Again" album,
show me a man who makes law unto himself,
show me a women who is humble and shy,
show me an old man not afraid of death,
and I'll show you a warrior with a clear eye.
bummer, I still love traffic, peace mike |

"From a heartache so blue
From a shadow to the sun,
From a lifetime on the run,
You know I'll be home to you." |
