Are you under the power of gold?
One road was simple acceptance of life, the other road offered sweet peace. When I made my decision, my vision became my release.
In the time it takes us to look beyond the lies, we could be sailing in each other's eyes.
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow, burning lines in the book of our lives. Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow, I'll be in love with you.
The meanings get lost and the teachings get tossed and you don't know what you're going to do next.
Love like a phantoms lights but hold in the heart, it builds like the empty smile adorning a statue with sightless eyes.
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man, I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band.
I love home. I'll stay up there for days on end, I won't even go down the driveway to look for the mail.
I wanted to pay tribute to my musical influences: Buffalo Springfield, Lightfoot, the Beatles, the Hollies.
I love the subtlety and tonal range of the acoustic guitar.
MTV didn't call. I guess I wasn't hip and groovy enough
I was blessed with a gift. It's a gift and a curse. It never ends
I wish I was a little more gregarious and outgoing
It was quite a shot in the head to do the album and then have it shot down by nonmusical idiots
