Members Ernest Buckley Posted May 12, 2010 Members Share Posted May 12, 2010 Benign ContinuumWords and Music by Ernest BuckleyCopyright 2010 Eight-thirty am, wind at our backsDoing sixty and its 80, too early to be so hotWe`re in back country, where tensions disappearAnd old roads lead to nowhere and thats just fine by me And it all reminds me of a time not long agoWe were in our twenties and we thought we knew it all Amazed by the seasons, so much change gone round hereAnd this land is at peace now but theres a storm somewhere out there And we see their scowling facesIn their four-wheeled coffinsAnd I wish there were a wayI wish there were a wayThat I could tell them So we cross Interstate Highways; red lights are all we see Cars are bumper to bumper, kids complaining in backseats I see this young couple; their eyes both meet mineI can tell what they are thinking but it may take them some time Half way to Montana with some friends up aheadMaybe headed even further, truth is we got no plansWant to make good time, got to emphasize the goodSometimes we stop, ask for direction and stay longer than we should And we see their scowling facesIn their four-wheeled coffinsAnd I wish there were a wayI wish there were a wayThat I could tell them And I shout "red-wing blackbird" but you don`t seem to care...

Very cool song there, Ernest. Got a demo going yet? I'm itching to hear it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ernest Buckley Posted May 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hey Lee, Thanks. I have a demo I recorded yesterday but I tweaked some of the lyrics and added a verse so its "outdated". If you want to PM your email, I`ll send out. If not, I`ll record an updated sometime this week. Peace,EB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
