about

"…the music is hushed, filled with subtleties that reveal themselves in their own good time. The emotion is there….sometimes it feels as if the album actually is waiting, lingering a couple of blocks behind while we learn to slow down…" (Jeffrey Lee Puckett, Louisville Courier-Journal)

lyrics

Eternity

Some are tied to cell phones,
Like horses around a post
The world revolves around them
But it’s the world they miss the most
Beauty all around them, they will never realize
I didn’t see it comin’, but I felt it in her eyes

Be here now, she said to me,
Baby, be with me
This second could be all we got
And it’s my eternity

We opened up the Cabernet
And turned off all the lights
Lit a dozen candles
And gave in to the night
She came to me in waves, the kind that fall and rise
I didn’t see it comin’ but I felt them in her eyes

Be here now, she said to me
Baby, be with me
I’m gonna take you to the place
Of my eternity

It’s not a new invention,
The fullness of the moon
And the tide has always fed
The hungry multitudes
Everywhere you go, you’ll find people living out their lives
I didn’t see it comin’, but I felt it in her eyes

And as she whispered quietly
Baby be with me
I realized it was all I need
For my eternity
