lyrics

You were my secondary bardo
All night, I dreamt like a dove
Woke up in a mirage of tomorrow
And now I'm seasoned as a swan
Only twice I dreamt of the low tide
But I couldn't see your eyes
Sang to you with the loving that was language
Silence retreated with a yawn
Into the space beyond the echoes
Where I can breathe with the dawn
Say goodnight to bring about the dying light in my own device
Oh, sent my way, laughing doves full of sound
And then I woke to you laughing
It's what I’ve felt for so long
No more worries of tomorrow
In that time when we'll be so young
Say goodnight to bring about the dying light in my own device
Oh, sent our way, laughing our way back home

Oh, in seasons, I'm standing in the sea
wondering if secondary swan will come with me
Oh, my lady, she's coming back to me
And the weather from her eyes is my sorrow and my pride

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
