I used to swim in a creek, 
throw a bucket down a well
Now all I have is a small canteen
for this trip through hell

Sue Ellen, are the roses still sweet - 
That we passed on our way as we walked to the bay
Down at the end of the windy street?

The bees search the hillsides 
for the sweetest drops of dew
They find them in the footprints
left there by you

Just wanted some time to live without care 
I never saw you comin’ 
I thought that you 
Were just a dream up there

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...

"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"
