about

I wrote and recorded this at Rancho Deluxe 1 in 2004. The lyrics say it all. I am currently 66.

lyrics

Too long in the wilderness, too long in the flame.
We light a fire, we walk the wire,
I nearly know your name, it ain't easy,
but you please me because,
you know there is no game,
there's nothing you should fear,
you saw you came you conquered shame,
it's the wisdom of the years,
no more tears,
the wisdom.

Now you nearly hold me close,
now you feel the same.
We learn to deal with how we feel,
I nearly know your name, it ain't easy,
but you please me because
you know there is no game.

There's nothing you should fear,
you saw you came, you conquered shame,
it's the wisdom of the years.
No more tears.
