Artist picture
Tom Paxton meets Jefferson Airplane. Extremely prolific singer songwriter with a wide range of styles from bizarre novelty tunes and surrealistic poetic songs t
With more than 300 songs and counting and for more than 30 years, I have written in a variety of acoustic styles from novelty tunes to love songs to historical ballads to poetic surrealistic songs to retro-acoustic pop. From bizarre to traditional from funny to poignant, whatever style the song is in, the melodies are usually memorable and the lyrics unpredictable. This site will eventually contain rough often first take demos of my entire song catalogue. Many of the earliest songs when I first started writing will of course be shaky. So expect the songs to get better as time goes on. Feel free to come back and browse often as I will constantly be adding songs, one by one in chronological order, starting in 1974. If you are looking for some unusual songs to cover from a little known but unique artist, you have come to the right place. Just e-mail me. If you find a song here that intrigues you, but you don't like a line or two, or you think it needs a bridge, drop me an e-mail and maybe you can earn writer's credit if it gets that song to be recorded or performed.... otherwise just enjoy. You can become a Rob Lincoln fan at no cost to you. I promise that if you keep coming back there will be some real surprises along the way. While mostly acoustic, some original material will veer into folk rock and even 60's pop, but the garage rock and loudest material will also be found in full band arrangement at soundclick.com/abrasiveflowers Eventually some of these 300+ tunes may be rerecorded and make it on to CD, including a novelty CD that would be suitable for Dr. Demento or an historical ballad CD or a political song CD--but until then, this is the only site you can hear most of these songs. (A few of my songs CAN be found on songramp.com/RobLincoln and myspace.com/lessickandlincoln)

Story behind the song
Written sub-consciously about someone now gone. Yes there is some symbolism going on here.
Lyrics
The young grass is growing over dried up weeds Wild flowers are blooming from the wind blown seeds Don't you run little rabbit down a crooked path Through the garden so crazy Why do you go so fast? Go slow go slow You will be there when it's time to go You used to say just take it slow No need to hurry but you didn't know The sunlight was fading off late summer leaves The gate had been closed from an unseen breeze Go slow go slow It will be there when it's time to go So I stand here today among the autumn chill And I look for tomorrow I'll try to get there still The gate is now bolted All the wildlife gone I drive away hurried form the shadowed lawn Go slow go slow I will be there when it's time to go You used to say just take it slow You used to say just take it slow So run little rabbit but where will you go? So just run little rabbit but know where you go
