lyrics

A lifetime stretched in front of me. A million things that I could be. A million things that I might see. So many possibilities were waiting on the wind. But then this subtle voice crept in. Don’t know from whence it came nor when but it whispered in my ear “Dear friend, don’t fight the tide. You’ll never win. Just turn and walk away”
Now I wanna be a tugboat captain, or an engineer driving a branch line. Maybe I could be a drawbridge operator.
I see the future, you and me. A little house beside the sea. I’ll be waiting for the killer bees or some other catastrophe to wash it all away. But I hear the warning loud and clear. Like voices calling far and near saying “Please don’t live your life in fear. We only have a short time here. Don’t throw it all away.” Now I wanna be a science fiction writer, who lives in an abandoned lighthouse. Maybe I could be a drawbridge operator.
And now the end is drawing near. I sit a stroke my grizzled beard. I could’ve set my dreams a flight. I should’ve but I never tried. I threw it all away. I could’ve been a tugboat captain. I should’ve tried to make something happen. I could’ve been a drawbridge operator.

First, he tapped Charles Albright, man of a million bands and Christine, she also of many bands. Christine got her dad, Nick, to play piano & sax. The Globs grew to include Craig (Sick Burn) & Jessica (Danger, Inc). ... more
