lyrics

I used to think that you were a stranger,
but now I don't know what for
You keep changing all of my meaning
You're bringing me back and forth
I don't know why they only said you would know
I don't know why they only said you would go
I used to think that you were moving
But now I see you oh so still
I used to think that you were changing
But now I see you never will
Because it's all in time, it's all just a game,
and I don't know what for
I hold the pearl now
I used to think that you were a stranger,
but now I don't know what for
You keep changing all of my meaning
You're bringing me back and forth
Because it's all in time, it's all just a game,
and I don't know what for
Eye of the pearl

Heard WB on a late BC night. Wow. Sometimes feels familiar, then "Can't Go Home" pops up as the jewel that says there is more here than you thought! Anthony B Cook

Shane Butler (Quilt) formed a band with his love interest Caity Shaffer and made great indie rock/pop tunes with lyrics that full of art, poetry and complex human emotions. How to choose a favorite track? Goodness, The epic finale, "Takes One To Know One"? The rollicking "Cut To The Quick"? The folky "Common Ground" and "Vital Sign" featuring the swoony, swaying vocals of Caity? So, so many! But I will choose the ever-lovely "Gamblers On A Dime" which I can listen to constantly!

If Wooden Shjips traded their sails for a prairie schooner, this is what you might hear them playing around the campfire at night on the Great Plains: homespun country-rock with a hint of psychedelia. Wonderful stuff, from start to finish. neu-mann
