Love, Please 03:38

Love, it is raining Clouds gaining Fade to gray But if we name it With the flame lit We can see Love, let's go dancing We can live in the beat Love, please go dancing with me Love, we're together We can weather Any storm Our circle was unbroken The moment You were born Love, let's go dancing We can live in the beat Love, please go dancing with me Love, we're together We can weather Any storm And though it is raining With the flame lit We are warm Love, let's go dancing We can live in the beat Love, please go dancing with me Please go dancing with me Please dance with me With me With me

The Last Time 04:31

I turn the light on I put my phone down I look around the room The TV chair where She sat and watched While she brushed her hair The last time I saw her The last time she knew Who I was I let my thoughts drift I let my mind shift To the way she used to be When she could greet me Say my name And take me by the hand And lead me through the kitchen Tell me it was good To see me again Oh, mother I miss you Where have you gone Oh, mother you left me Here all alone I turn to go now Pick up my phone and Turn out the light Pull the door closed Take out the key And look at it in my hand Wishing it were magic That it could unlock her mind And set her free Oh, mother I miss you Where have you gone Oh, mother you left me Here all alone Mother I miss you Where did you go Mother I miss you And you'll never know

We Were Free 02:54
lyrics

Climbing a tree, wading a creek we could be Whatever we wanted, we were undaunted We were free Sun on our skin, dirt on our feet Jeans with embroidery Love beads and leather bracelets Hippie wannabes Biking around all over town, you and me Meet at the park, hang until dark We were free Sun on our skin, dirt on our feet Jeans cut off at the knees We hadn't learned, no rules to bind us We hadn't turned 13 Driving a car, playing guitars, waiting to leave Hoping for someone to take us away To what we believed Sun on our skin, sand on our feet Jeans with holes in the knees 45 records we were wild we were reckless We were singing to be free We were young, we were boundless Excited and groundless Full of energy The sky was the limit We wouldn't be timid We would be free

Follow 03:49
lyrics

I wanna go somewhere This can't be the end of the road If I move my feet in some direction Will the rest of me follow Everything changed After everyone died And love refused to meet me She wasn't there for me She wasn't kind And I felt defeated I wanna go somewhere This can't be the end of the road If I move my feet in some direction Will the rest of me follow Blind sided kick Weakness exposed Hole in the heart blown open Suddenly I was mortal and small And my life It was frozen Everything changed And I was alone and I did not know How to start again, how to move ahead But the journey was in each step I've got to go somewhere This won't be the end of my road I'll move my feet in one direction And I will follow Yes, I will follow

Ash McDaniel Tennessee

I started playing the guitar and writing songs at 15 and have been at it ever since, even though I've "traveled the breadth of extremities" (Joni Mitchell, Hejira) between then and now. Here I am, again.
