This is a simple song written on the acoustic guitar but I liked it enough to put on Culture & Consequence. I developed it more later and that better version appears on the next album.
lyrics
Hope can be the honest answer to the faction
We're leading up to all the action
of open minds and big attraction
Where credit cards can never do you wrong
And high is low, and fast can turn to achingly slow
The vision that you saw last night is
soft and darkly in disguises
Where nothing ever wanted them to be
And love is all a question that we both can answer
So lay it on me quickly as I count the stars that lead me tonight
and hold me close as ever what you see
We hold our hands
The placecard saves the page from turning
A thousand trees are never burning
and gentlemen are always learning
About the one you never really knew
