Hey there-hope you are doing well.
Just wanted to thank all of you who have been listening and purchasing songs from the first album, Water from a Broken Dam, on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, etc. I also want to thank those who have been checking in on the Col. Pike website.
Recently, I've been working on a new chord progression and melody. This weekend I forced myself to sit down and write some lyrics. The title of the track is Lay With Me. The plan is to rehearse this until its fully ingrained the then go back into the Tone and Tenor studio to record. Also below are a couple of pictures of the dogs, Baxter and Brandy, showing their enormous enthusiasm for the song writing process.
And when I finally woke
Thinking about the words you spoke
Wonder if we’ll make the grade
Or will it come to plans mislaid
And when at last we taste the sun
Nothing left to do but run
Back into the warm embrace
A whisper’s everlasting grace
Lay beside me
Let the morning pass without a care
If the world chimes in it would be
more than I could bare
Driving through the Lone Star state
So flat it makes you contemplate
What it means to be a friend
And could you ever make amends
Made a stop in San Antonio
Spent the hour on my phone
Searching for that phrase you used
It could never be confused
Cross Atlanta in the rain
A fleeting interest you could feign
Waitress wants a new tattoo
One could never misconstrue
Park behind the old sawmill
Listen to the whippoorwill
Singing to the morning sun
Just another audition
