Six Strings in the Shadow

A long slow walk down a wilderness path

Toting a flight case stickered to the nines

Clasps shining in the sunlight

Three piece back lookin to hold time

Sitting in the shadows

Beneath an old growth spruce

Capo laced up to five

Fingers tickling frets, gonna let loose

Face feeling winds crossing the glade

Capture the breathe risin from the lake

Senses embracing a guitar pick

Metal roundwounds begin to shake

six strings in the shadows

singing shades of blue

six strings in the shadows

scratching a tune for you

six strings in the shadows

singing shades of blue

six strings in the shadows

yea, riding love to you

Closed eyes knowing where they float

Soulful singing dancers quivering low

Pitched to laugh with sunshine

Heart kissing evergreen, moving real slow

Scent of camomile calling

Lingering mist hiding in the bark

Song seeping along meadow railing

Softly arriving on the mark

six strings in the shadows

singing shades of blue

six strings in the shadows

yea, riding love to you
