Goodbye Mary Jane 03:42
lyrics

Goodby Mary Jane it's been a long lonely game but life has taken me from you Goodby Mary Jane love is short and a little insane but your gifts do remain alive Long green river flowin' vast blue open sky big red heart a beatin' tears as clear as asking, why? Goodby Mary Jane I see your face in the flame but like a fire blown by the wind Goodby Mary Jane I walk just the same into the bright sunset of my brain Long green river flowin' vast blue open sky big red heart a beatin' tears as clear as asking, why? Goodby Mary Jane it's been a long lonely game but life has taken me from you

If there was any kind of way... To make your heart want to stay... We could fly up to the clouds... We could say real loud... I love... you I love you... If there was any time of day... When you would want to stay... We could dive into god... We could say out loud... I... love you I love... you If there was way to say... The thoughts that make your way... We could swim into the sea... We could at last be free... I love... you I love you...

All along the water your body floating All along the mountain your body laying All along the fire your body dancing So deep my love... When your little love Kindles my desire When your little love Kindles my fires When your little tongue Make my mouth water When your little ass Takes all my power Ah... All along the ocean your body drifting All along the valley your body walking All along the wind stream your body flying So high my love... When your little love Kindles my desire When your little love Kindles my fires When your little tongue Make my mouth water When your little ass Takes all my power Ah...

Spark 03:35
lyrics

When I see your eyes are the light... When I see your face in my sight... Everything about you is the spark... Everything about you is the dark... I sink so deeply Flying into god I go so quickly Out of the fog I can't return Until all of this is gone I can't be one body For very long Without you I'm nothing But rock and stone Without you by me I am all alone When I see your eyes are the light... When I see your face in my sight... Everything about you is the spark... Everything about you is the dark... I sink so deeply Flying into god I go so quickly Out of the fog I can't return Until all of this is gone I can't be one body For very long Without you I'm nothing But rock and stone Without you by me I am all alone

When my body becomes light When my body becomes light Home... Again. Home Again. When my body is gone Back to where I belong Home... Again. Home Again. When my eyes cannot see Only the sparkle in me Home... Again... Home... Again... When my ears cannot hear Only the wind is near Home... Again... Home... Again... When my mouth is dry One last tear in my eye Home... Again... Home Again... When my legs cannot walk When my mouth cannot talk Home... Again... Home... Again... Oh Death Oh Death When my heart will no longer beat My body is in defeat Home... Again... Home... Again... Place me in my favorite spot Next to the earth so hot Home... Again... Home... Again... Goodby to the land I love Now I rise above Home... Again... Home Again...

I Believe 02:46
lyrics
buy track
When you loved too much And your heart is open wide There is nothing left but to go inside When you've given everything And there is nothing left Your heart will open again... I bet Because the world around us Is made for love... just follow The directive from above... I believe that everything is love and all of the people come from above... I believe that everything is love and all of the people come from above... So when you go to sleep And everything is dark Look into yourself and see the colored spark We were made of stardust And were made to see That everything about love Is in you and me And no matter the hour No matter the place Love is always waiting Out there in space... I believe that everything is love and all of the people come from above... I believe that everything is love and all of the people come from above...

Canyon Girl 02:33
lyrics

She was just a canyon girl Giving us a thrill She was just a canyon girl Coming in for the kill Days and nights Nights and days They were all the same Giving us an alibi Then taking it all away Dark days came rolling darker then the black Everything I knew was under attack Crushing down like lightning twisted and bent Truth became a letter that was never sent And god knew the answer but was hiding it from me Something was waiting behind every tree... She was just a canyon girl All dressed in red She was just a canyon girl That went straight to my head Back & forth Up & down Something so mysterious Something I never met before Something so dangerous Dark days came rolling darker then the black Everything I knew was under attack Crushing down like lightning twisted and bent Truth became a letter that was never sent And god knew the answer but was hiding it from me Something was waiting behind every tree...

about

Wagon Wheel is the end of a cycle that began in 1964. As a teenager I was listening to ballads of that time: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and El Paso by Marty Robbins. Now I had recorded the Wagon Wheel album near to the real city of El Paso. These western ballads from the early 1960's were mysterious narrations into a violent and romantic world. As a teenager, my singing group The Bucket Three copied these folk tunes, but not until 50 years later, did I find myself writing songs in this same Ghost Riders in the Sky genre. Mary Jane, Canyon Girl, Solo Rider, all tell tales of love lost and found in this western landscape. There is death in the tunes of Wagon Wheel, and prayers for salvation. At last I have sung the cycle of songs that originally inspired my sound art... at last I had turned the Wagon Wheel of my fate.
