    Decorated with whimsical acrylic paintings inspired by the lyrics of the "The Fish Song" combined with with E.G.'s "Ducks With Pants" "theme" and accompanied with an illustrated lyric booklet, this CD and its packaging are a reminder as to what's been lost in the digital age -- a chance to create something that is artful, expressive and also tangible to go along with the music we create.

about

I have trouble imagining this as anything but a coda to "The Fish Song" and sometimes I think I wrote it just as a lead up to thrashing around on that Dm chord at the end.

lyrics

Lover for a day
Lover for an hour
Lovers through out the night
Lover's in the shower
Lover in a field of wheat
Lover picking flowers
Lover who loves her sweets
Lover whose love's turned sour

Lover of the moment… Lover of my life
Love her in an instant… Lover becomes a wife

Love her to the bone
Lovers in the marrow
Lover turned to stone
Lover's lost her sparrow
Lover in a picture
Lover in a tower
Lover with her liquor
Lover whom I'll devour

Lovers in the heat… Lover in the cold
Lover I've yet to meet… Lover who's grown old

Lover of the moment… Lover of my life
Love her in an instant… Lover becomes a wife

Lover in the parking lot
Lover on the bus
Lover kept a secret
Lover we don't discuss
