A song for my dad
Acoustic Banjo Guitar Vocals Mandoline
Hey. Uncle Alien is pretty much one guy, me! All recordings have been done on a little four track Tascam studio in my garage. I play Gibson Acoustics guitars, banjos, mandolines. The songs on this site are pretty much a side project for me. Currently I am working most of my time with a group called HipSauce. You can hear more about them at http://myspace.com/hipsauce. Thanks!!!

Story behind the song
Getting on in years, many things become clearer about the past.
Lyrics
Past Morrow’s Bend Now past eighty he sits and smokes his pipe Barely moves about all day Tonight a pint, tomorrow half a draft He can barely find his way He used to stay out all night And worry her half to fright But now he’s changed his ways Cannot remember days Her love and her warm ways She standing in a haze Or was it yesterday The children went away She’s gone and so are they Oh what a price he’s paid Chorus Down the road past morrow’s bend Down past fields and farms Find the love we used to feel When we were so young She stands and folds her laundry Like it was fifty years ago Her wedding dress then tarnished by a careless glass But little did he know And little did he care it was here mother’s dress And her mother’s once removed again But now she’s changed her way Cannot remember days His love and his warm ways He’s standing there in pain Or was it yesterday The children came to play He’s gone and so are they Oh what a price she’s paid Chorus Chorus
