In the Land of the Dead-Ends-- a new song
I've started my first album, and this is Track 1.
Audio
This song was written at the end of the road, where the forest begins and the people don't go. Cedars in the mist, ferns and frogs singing, a cold stream running to the ocean, salmon swimming upstream — and at the end of the day, a tent pitched under the moon and stars.
It's my favorite of all the songs I've recorded. Press play and come sit in the woods with me for a few minutes.

Lyrics
In the land of the dead-ends
Where the mountains begin
Where the streams flow freely
That's where you'll find me
This song was written
Written at the end of the road
And I was going along to the forest
And I pulled my car over
And I looked out the window
And I looked out the window
And I smelled the cedars
in the mist
And I heard the ferns singing their song
But actually it was frogs going with the song of the ferns
I love to be in the woods
I love the magic of the forest
At the end of the road where the people don't go
And I go there because I know the magic will happen every time
I got to tell you that the end of the road is the most beautiful
Place to breathe the air
And dip my toes in the stream
Feel the pure cold water flow over my toes
And where the stream goes I don't know
It goes to the ocean eventually
Salmon
Go upstream to make their babies
And I know that when I drive this far
I'm really really tired of being in the car
I feel this place is the place for me
So I pitch my tent eventually
The clouds come out and the sun goes down
I can feel the peaceful vibes all around
And I'm going to stay here for a night or two
Goodnight (x8)
I love you so much, moon and stars above
