there's just too much blue these days it's beginning to lose it's quality of being a color stomp on that, crush it, eat it anything - just don't incorporate it into your soul there it will stream through every contraction and soon your body will be full of it rejecting it, hating it... why is it so cold?

Look in my eyes and then tell me what is is that you're doing to me I wake every morning to see you Take my heart, I don't want to be free Never respected a woman like I you I can't remember a time like this before I don't know how it got this way There's something that I've got to say You're making it easy You're making it easy to love you How many times have I called you But it seems that you're never at home I'm building my world all around you But my heart isn't made out of stone Never respected a woman like I you I can't remember a time like this before I don't know how it got this way There's something that I've got to say You're making it easy You're making it easy to love you (I just can't take it any more...)

I'm tired of all this progress because I haven't seen a thing to indicate that my movement has been anything but wane The letter I wrote you this morning lost the meaning I felt was clear The words were only a symptom of something I saw in the mirror The child we raised is dying, his mouth is gasping out for air But he's finding the atmosphere changing and provisions are out of hand I'm tired of all this progress because I haven't seen a thing to indicate improvement or when my life will begin

Rebecca 03:21
I can't believe the way it's happened It's hard for me to understand Why you cared when other's haven't It makes me feel as if it's planned I could not ask for so much kindness The warmth I feel is overdue I pray it last beyond the winter The only dream I have is you Dear Rebecca So take my hand I will not leave you Lead the way beyond this pain You have my heart and my devotion I send my love with every mail Dear Rebecca...

Whitewash 05:20
How can you think when you haven't a thought worth repeating? How can you feel when emotion has passed you by? How can you know when the knowing is kept by the outside? How can you say that it's only a childish lie? How do you feel when you wake in the morning to sunshine? And all you want is for someone to take it away See me now and tell me it's worth all the anguish Touch me now and you know that I may run away Away? How can you speak when you haven't a clue my perspective Tortures me and I am not free to abstain Take me know - no, I've buried that dream with the whitewash Nothing left and nothing more to be said I have no time You have no time We have no time We haven't a thing to say...

No Reason 01:17
You haven't a reason, the time or the season to trust me But I ask your forgiveness and may we bury this business behind us? I could not accept it nor could I reject it I was trapped like a moment in time I have no excuses, but I don't want to lose you Good friends are so hard to find I know I shouldn't have said what I wouldn't have said had I planned it But the years can be cruel and the loneliness too was a factor So let us look forward to days more rewarding Remember the good times we've had I promise respect and behavior correct befitting that a true friend

about

Before there was CHILDREN, there was ANGST FOR THE MEMORIES - my second solo release during a time of musical transition. A favorite among fans - newly remastered (or as much as you can with a 34 year-old cassette) and featuring the first appearance of "Whitewash" prior to DUMB ASK.
