Peter Erickson and Mark McClellan formed OFFICER 67 in late 1990 in Norman & began playing around the Norman OK and OKC area. We later were graced to have the talents of Dean Brown on drums and vocals. Our style is acoustic and we play anything from Beatles to Crowded House, from REM to Wilco. Originals and an album followed when Frank Lawrence, of FLAWRENCE & BEGEL loaned us recording equipment to capture original songs being performed live. With that, Endless Game was recorded and produced with the help of Darla Miller on backup harmonies and Frank Lawrence with studio production.

Story behind the song
Wrote the song to describe being away from home along time and traveling back with all the anticipation of finally touching down at the airport. Funny when you travel, time expands and you can feel like you are a million miles away. Even the trip from the airport to your front door seems like hours.
Lyrics
In the shadows I can see you, The light reflecting from your hair But when I reach out to hold you, I awake, and your not there It's early morning and I've caught my flight, Seems like a million miles away But I will be there by the morning light, and together we'll slip away CHORUS I'm a million miles away from you By the morning light, my dreams will come true I'm a million miles away from you And it drives me crazy, the things that you do It's after midnight, about to loose my mind, My next connection, it's on time It's 1 a.m. and I'm drifting off to sleep, Must be the engines as they whine The sun is streaming thru my window, Thru clouds of yellow, red and gold I see the patchwork of the fields down below, When I touch down, I'm headin' for home BRIDGE Ridin' on silver wings, takin' me home To the one I love, she waits all alone In the shadows I can see you, The light reflecting from your hair And when I reach out to hold you, You awake and hold me near
