Her eyes blue and bare
She’s longing for comfort…

Terrible recording due to my old studio set up dying, but a nice keepsake of just how bad things became before the rebuild.
Lyrics by Brent Kinder.
With piano by Igor Alexeev.
One of my first experiments with DADGAD tuning. I was hoping to get a dark,droning sound. I lived in Missouri for a lot of years and this sounds like what it feels like to be out in the sticks there.
