This song was written in 2012, but has remained a staple of my live performances. So, going into recording, I thought it would be nice to start with something familiar.
Ian Beabout of Beabout Productions must be thanked for his hard work on producing and flute-izing the track!
lyrics
There is only one sip left, but it will quench my thirst for now.
There is only one of you left who can slow this avalanche down.
I was walking down the path I'd chosen, in my infinite wisdom.
When I reached the cliff my mind had frozen, and my legs just kept kicking.
Living can be a chore, but the river life is so grand.
Staying afloat has made me sore, so let's rest on the dam.
Float with me, Float with me.
Wipe the sand from your eyes..
Wake with me, Wake with me.
We'll find what beauty we can find.
Float with me. Float with me. Float with me. Float with me.
