A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)
As if I was a tree,
And would stand in the woods,
Taking the rain and the snow.
As if I was a tree,
Standing in the field,
Looking at the eternal movement of the clouds.
As if I was,

ONE LAST DANCE
I never got to tell you what's been on my mind
It might be just as well now that we're running out of time…
Gary and I did something good.

JUST AS WELL
Why is youth so beautiful
And why’s it always wasted on the young
When did my days go flying by

All your turns
All your pain
Lessons learned

Hiding in the silence of a footstep
Some familiar sound
Walking toward the east before the sunset
Turn round
Lost in thought
Troubled mind
All you’ve fought…
DANCING IN THE LIGHT
Got you on my mind
Like every other day
From now until the end of time
I haven’t found a way
To take you dancing in the light
And take you running in the night
I’m thinking you just might
Like to go dancing, dancing…
