01 In the Stairwell 

In the stair, in the stairwell tonight

Playing you, holding true to my delight 

Lyrics low, fingers slowing down 

It’s like pillow talk with chords in reverb drowned

Minor 9ths and dark blue lines pulse in my veins

The rhythm builds and bass line fills float in my brain 

I’m on the verge, melodies merge and swell

It’s what I do with you in the stairwell

02 Laid Back Road  

It doesn’t matter much where you been

Twice as much as where you’re headed and when

Time is pulling us in a dizzy fuss 

A dozen different directions a day

Ain’t too long till it starts wearing thin

A laid back road feels better to me

A long sweet stroll that happens leisurely 

A laid back road, you wanna come along

I’d love to have you digging my songs

I hear you digging my songs

We all got this time-bomb buried inside our chest

And it’s not too fair but it stops when it thinks best

So measure your hat size, coolly accessorize

A dozen funky selections a day

But in the bye-and-bye it won’t really impress

A laid back road feels better to me

Like a chilled-out slice of peaches and cream

A laid back road, you oughta come along

I’d love to have you digging my songs

I hear ya digging my songs, yeah

Just breathe now…

03 Slow Motion

Shhhh dear, the neighbors will hear

Gotta keep it down, if we’re gonna keep this up

Oh my, our king-size dreams

Good for rolling around in and making love

Deep in the sheets, it’s never neat 

We’ll reach the point of no return

When all we yearned for was a kiss

The office desk becomes a mess

It’s only flesh with which we press 

To make these moments melt to bliss

And this is our love in slow motion

Stretching out time, re-fueling our dreams

We drink it all down like a homemade potion

And this is our love in slow motion

Shhhh love, it’s morning I know

But sometimes it’s nice in this lazy state

Please approve, ya won’t have to move

It’s gonna go like clock-work, then back to sleep

Sometimes the stairs does the trick

It tends to stick, it just takes a while

If ya close your eyes you’re lost somewhere in time

Recall the boats, between the slips

The linen sails became a veil

A calm accomplice to our crime

And this is our love in slow motion

Naming the stars, floating downstream

You wanna head south, such a naughty notion

And this is our love in slow motion

And this is our love in slow motion

Walking on clouds, up in the jet stream

If we divvy it up to a perfect quotient 

This is our love in slow motion

04 Still Miss You 

Quarter till dusk time, white curtains sway

Cicadas singing as I sip a smoky cabernet

A neighbors mowing, I hear children play

And records spinning on the Hi-Fi

And a lady’s voice reverberates

Sometimes I miss you

I guess I just miss you

Baby, I miss you again

Lavender perfume on her neck in summertime

Trips we went on and all the hills that we climbed

And I lived for her smile, the pleasure dancing in her eyes

A smile that could’ve powered the world

But met its demise

Sometimes I miss you

I guess I still miss you

Baby, I miss you again

05 Caramelized 

Let’s all head over here and caramelize

Grab that sautéing pan and those sharp knives

Keep the heat low, gotta go slow

Now add the oil

Onions never tasted so sweet 

As once they’re caramelized
