originally released March 2009 on 'songs from home'

lyrics

you say there's something
that needs finding
out there in that rugged world

so you'll go,
but you'll be back someday
oh, yes, this i say

raindrops fall from
a big, grey sky
rhododendron blossoms
pink in hue

i smile at you,
there's nothing i can do
so i say, "see your
travels through"

and i know
you will find it
in the end
maybe not tomorrow
but who knows, it could depend
on where you are
and whom you call
your friend

i'm aimless, obsessive
without you
old folks feeding pigeons
at the park
count the hairs
upon my head
i don't know where you are
and any place i dream
is much too far

and i know
you will find it
in the end
maybe not tomorrow
but who knows, it could depend
on where you are
and whom you call
your friends

when i go out at night
streetlights line a blanket
of orange light
and i sleep much better
when you're by my side
but otherwise
i will do just fine

and i know
you will find it
in the end
maybe not tomorrow
but who knows, it could depend
on where you are
and whom you call
your friends

sit out
on my old, red
rocking chair
smoking my pipe, here
in the dark
smell the midnight roses
and suddenly, there you are

and
when i die
they're gonna throw
our constellation
they're gonna throw
our stars
into the sky

and after all,
you found it in the end
a testament of wanderings
written by a pen
and now you call that
whole wide world
your friend
