6/12 string guitar, nylon string and electric (Chorus only). Dave did the leads using a Gibson Melody Maker.
Song originated in a three dimensional dream where all senses were involved and the finest detail felt real. I remember waking up shaking.
Original demo was done years ago and I caught my self singing the melody in the shower, which usually means it's time for a revisit. Dave provided leads and the inspired fills that give the song a bit more weight from it's original EMO origins.
1. A reckless abandon, and an enthusiastic life
Where we were welded into each others nights
Where we couldnt separate you and I from us
Love never died, but left us bleeding in the dust
2. A memory all covered up in soap suds
A time and place - Do I dare to call it love?
A present so sharply defined
A past so deeply - etched into my mind
3. Accidental tourist on a rainy day
Trapped in a convenient doorway
Suddenly you just disappeared
But we always knew that youd eventually go
4. Wrapped in a blanket by a raging fire
Smokey sleepiness and naked desire
Angles and reflections, closeness or deception
But there we were - anchored for a moment
5. Too much time, alone in the desert
Too sharp a contrast when youre in the oasis
Strained my eyes against the blinding light
You with a sheet wrapped around your waist
