profound Jeff. I suppose we all have similar thoughts but getting them down in an intelligible order is the trick.

Fine writing.     

Thanks Phill and Jim. This one came to me pretty easy. I usually find it tough to come up with the music once I have the words but not the other way around. And some days both are difficult.     

Jeff that is brilliant you paint a good picture with your song of a writer in a quiet home making mind  images with words that flow. For me to write a decent song can be very elusive for me.  I admire the way  you are able to do it naturally with a nice folky style that tells good stories.
My favourite time to write is when I am alone in the house my ears in the quiet hear the sounds around me which I don't normally hear.     It is then I develop the ideas that have come to me in the days and nights before. I seem to get ideas for poems and songs while out and about and then when I am in the shower or doing other things more words come to me or sometimes new ideas. I have had whole poems or songs come to me in the shower  but usually by the time get out of the shower I can't remember what it was.  I have written a couple things early in the morning I will be fast asleep an idea comes to me I quickly hop out of bed speedily write it down before the universe steals the thought from  me sending it into outer space and a place where I cant cant find it again. The right time to some how put it all together all  those bits and pieces of words floating around usually for  me  can be hard to find sometimes.  I need to be in my house with just me and my thoughts and the sound of life outside.

Love the melody and your voice is so reminiscent of Burl Ives.
