We stood and watched them from the cliffs above
Until the sunlight went away
Then we slept in ancient shadows
Underneath the redwood trees…
Anyone see the pelicans and the dead fish floating in the oil? (In the midst of the Great Gulf Leak.)
I'M NOT GONNA CRY
Oil-covered pelicans smother
Feathered brother.

Your song made me feel as if I were walking past this sad man's broken, tattered life. I don't think I've ever listened to one of your songs without feeling deeply moved.

James Michael Taylor A true classic. Deceptively simple, yet so many feelings in there: angst, loneliness, and hope, all rolled into one. Davis When I wrote this, 50 years ago, I was afraid it would seem like nothing happened. Thank you for being able to read between the lines.

Sherra Leh Interestingly, I think if you were to re-release that album, it would do really well.

Damien Carroll Recorded in 1976? Sounds so fresh. Love the sentiment. I hear touches of Willie Nelson.
Keith Haas That was a cheap wine was it not? I think they were sipping 7 Up.
James Buchanan Almost Jim Croce
