about

Cheese Tour, Colorado, July 2001

lyrics

A joyful noise was rippling through the aspen trees
Breath through a harmonica, a summer breeze
You were on a pedestal and i was on my knees
Mary Beth your summer dress, your sunburned face, the acid test
The music that you are, I’ll never play
I went on a tangent, lost track of your footsteps
but I hope you’re out there somewhere shining still today
If I crossed your path, what would I say

In the mountain sun girls spinning hula hoops
dancing on the rocks and sucking sugar cubes
Peace sign painted on the side of tie dyed combat boots
Mary Beth the pirouette, the attitude, the arabesque
The dance moves I could never keep them straight
I’ve got 2 left feet and the steps are incomplete
I know that I’ve been beat while I watch you waltz away
If I could twist and shout, would that make you wanna stay

Love has found a couple ways to manifest
Tremors in your stomach or a murmur in your chest
You know that could be hunger, could be cardiac arrest
Mary Beth I must confess the Be Here Now, the ego death
The wild in your eyes I’ll never tame
A peek behind the shroud, see what everything’s about
Advection of the clouds and evaporate the rain
And if i woke up now, would you remain

Everything that happens everything you see
Gets lost inside the puzzle of your memory
Put it all together if you could find that missing piece
Mary Beth I won’t forget the skinny dip, the grateful dead
The way the moonlight silhouettes your face
The riverboat, the drunken nights
The molly and the disco lights
The plastic shaman blasting off, the monkey lost in space
I tried to solve it all, there’s still something out of place

Mary Beth don’t get upset the dog tags are now all that’s left
We’re carrying remains back to the base
When summer brings its golden sun you cast your warmth on everyone
And bless our modest lives with compassion and your grace
And we will know love
