about
Addison's Notes:
Lewis started this one while in Hawaii. He was there to play ukelele for the wedding of a very good pal's mom. He continued writing the song while perched at the top of the Morton parking garage; taking in the sunset.
After returning from his travels, Lewis thought that my spirit might be akin to those on the island. Later on that same friend, who's mom's wedding Lew played, would come back from travels in Italy and find that I would fit in even more so there. Is that braggy?
Lew's Notes:
Yes (eye roll). These lyrics were a stream of consciousness during a period of time one summer when I would watch the sunset from a parking garage several times a week. Watching the clouds subtle movement became a habit for me. Nothing more satisfying as a songwriter when all the lyrics come out at one time. Less work the better.
lyrics
Show me the way
Look to the sunset
That’s golden and gray
Sleeps through the day
Till it turns on headlights
That splash on the sidewalk
Like pennies and dimes
Forgotten to time
Bang a gong
Like the tribe
That sleeps through the night
In a thicket of trees
Patiently sings
To the gods that bring light
The hopeless semantics
Of life set aside
Knowing that
Night is a gift
Love brings
You are a song
Love sings
We are the lonely only
We are the lonely only
We are the lonely only
But you are the
Only to the Sun

It takes its lack of seriousness seriously in the best kind of way--brilliant, unpredictable choices for this outstanding artist to cover with the likes of Roseanne Cash, Mary Chapin Carpenter, etc. All this Indiana gem is missing is a Jann Browne cover... Jake Stebner
