Oh, Ma’amoiselle 
I read about women like you in books 
What you want with me 
And my dusty panhandle look ...

I'm waitin' for a big orange moon
I'll walk around while the whole town sleeps
And at dawn it's gonna give me a tune …

Sugar of Carquinez is an unreleased song. It's a rough mix - hasn't been mastered, so the sound quality may be affected a bit.

I sailed to the end of the world,
My little boat took it pretty hard,
When we went over the edge...

Clouds in the sky are unravelin’  
Is this my land or am I just travelin’?

"I want to sit with you down by the river -
Everybody wants to get next to you 
'cause you're a giver.

But I want to see  
Can you put it into my eyes?  
How you can believe when it’s dark  
Maybe I’m just not the kind"

"Another day has come around 
And I can’t take my eyes off the edge of town 
Can’t take my eyes off the edge of town."

The streets are filled with rubble 
From some forgotten war 
They’d like to fight it all again 
But we can’t take it anymore 

Oh, misery be warned 
There’s only so much can be borne

It seems like I’ve lived the time that you’ve lived 
But everyone sees a different world 

And I know that you’ve been with artless travelers 
Who unravel the wonder and take the stars out of the eyes 
Of the sweetest girl 

Why don’t you leave those boots down there in the sand 
They don’t really fit you, so begin again 
And call me on your way if you need a hand 
Because Colorado will always take you in
