lyrics
If I had my way I'd be lying in a field
Studying the sky, listen to you breathe
Measuring the blues right up against the greens
Moving to the stones that lie under my feet
But I don't have a tree to fall under
Or a bag full of stones to crawl under
I smile for awhile at the thunder
Dream about the day I can say
I had my way
If I stood my ground I'd be taller than I am
Like running up a hill or running through the sand
Measuring the blues right against the greens
Moving to the stones that lie under my feet
But I don't have a tree to fall under
Or a bag full of bones to crawl under
I smile for awhile at the thunder
Dream about the day I can say
I had my way
If I had my way I'd be lying in a field
Studying the sky listen to you breathe
Measuring the blues right up against the greens
Moving to the stones that lie under my feet
But I don't have a tree to fall under
Or a bag full of bones to crawl under
I smile for awhile at the thunder
Dream about the day I can say
I had my way
Studying the sky, listen to you breathe
Measuring the blues right up against the greens
Moving to the stones that lie under my feet
But I don't have a tree to fall under
Or a bag full of stones to crawl under
I smile for awhile at the thunder
Dream about the day I can say
I had my way
If I stood my ground I'd be taller than I am
Like running up a hill or running through the sand
Measuring the blues right against the greens
Moving to the stones that lie under my feet
But I don't have a tree to fall under
Or a bag full of bones to crawl under
I smile for awhile at the thunder
Dream about the day I can say
I had my way
If I had my way I'd be lying in a field
Studying the sky listen to you breathe
Measuring the blues right up against the greens
Moving to the stones that lie under my feet
But I don't have a tree to fall under
Or a bag full of bones to crawl under
I smile for awhile at the thunder
Dream about the day I can say
I had my way

David Elias recommends:
-
Intricate, exacting, sonically meticulous, extemporary in all its planning, takes you into a room then into a field then into the void.
go to album -
Because of a Flower
by Ana RoxanneBought the vinyl. Spectacular use of sound with some insane vocal tracks overhead.
go to album -
Start at the end and play it backwards. Or forwards. Sideways either way. Squarely unsquare and rapidly descending. Captured.
