Frank: "Were you expecting something soft and gentle?" Yes, from Luisa I was, but it was not to be. Written shortly before the start of her "blue period" I believe. My favorite Chris Aleo drum track. We needed to turn the hose on him after our first run through of this one. Get out your earplugs people, 'cuz folk-rock is here to stay!

Lyrics

L. Tanno

Were you expecting something soft & gentle?
Were you expecting me to give away again?
Yeah, you deem all my excursions mental
Of course you take the cheap & easy win
Win, win, you win
Sure we’ll both climb the jagged peaks
But you’ll call yours yours
And call mine weak

Forgive my tracks and side-step ways
But broad & wide are not the strokes that I intended to make

Well I took a breath to cool the hot down
But the heat it didn’t want to go away
And after letting it fuel the come ‘round
I decided just to give the hot its day
Day, day, this day
Sure I’ll fall down the sainted trail
But those who know me best will anoint me well

Forgive my tracks and side-step ways
But broad & wide are not the strokes that I intended to make

Luisa: lead vocal, acoustic guitar
Frank: acoustic & electric guitars, bass, harmony vocal
Chris Aleo: drums
