This may be unlistenable to some from the tape flutter. I only have a few like Jack Adam and Jill Eve where I tried to play my guitar like I thought I'd wish to play a piano.

This is called Two Old Friends - another setting of a poem by my friend Evan Harrington

Lyrics by Evan Harrington.

Two Old Friends

Leaves bear mark of the changing of season
Soon to be crushed under foot, under paw.

Two old friends quite oppositely natured,
Neither too quickened to point out a flaw.

The law of nature
is strongly opposed-
Leaves engaging in war with themselves.

Two old friends,
Seldom do they see
That the veins within,
Like the vines without,
Carry only withered fruit,
Ever-releasing root.

Winter buries all with a glaze.
Forgotten as debris the days.
They came to form some inner ways.
They left, the focus now in haze...

Two old friends
Two old friends

that gather all the times and tides at once we love within."

Hi Rob - indeed I didn't get the Simon and Garfunkle et. al. folk feel from this until you mentioned it. Aye - that is the magic of sharing your work on line, is it not?!!

Thanks for the listen and comment!
