Boudewijn Bakker I couldn't get into the first song. But I'm glad I kept listening because after that each song has it's own character and is amazing. From the instruments and vocals to the recording and producing. Everything just works perfectly. Favorite track: Come to Our Sea!.

Come rollin’ on home sweet babe I would keep you warm and safe You think you’d be happy beside me then honey babe why wait Oh, how it would please me To see you when I wake So, come rollin’ on home sweet babe I’ll be rockin’ in the evenings by the wood stove Bubblin’ my wooden pipe You’d smell the sweet smoke all around me Ah, honey babe could it be great? Oh, how it would please me To see your pretty face So, come rollin’ on home sweet babe We could make arrangements for all your potions I could make space for you I know its a small place, in fact it’s tiny Ah, but honey babe, it came from dreams I can sure get lonely wishin’ you were here with me So, come rollin’ on home sweet babe

My Girl 04:30
My girl seems to believe in magic Helps me believe it If i was on a boat at sea I’d have thoughts of her only Tell me about the stars, tell me about how a heart has many secrets Maybe love can free them My girl can turn my heart into a lead weight Or a falcon flying higher than an airplane It can fog me up My love, bring relief to a long night And when my love is caught in grief My girl seems to believe in magic Helps me believe it If i were running free I’d have thoughts of her only Tell me about her sparks Tell me about how a heart is never stagnant We try to contain it

Picture a black black thing with ultra violet bursts of stars Agile wings to cut the story down Flying so far through raging mad light seas She is up and waking in her stormy gown Even a light come flying at her side Even a light come flying so far Even a light brighter than its spark Come to our sea come to ours! Picture a big fat bell pounding out a pulse to ride A long black snake that will never die Here were waiting for to praise her sad dark face Leading rogue stars to a befitting places Even a light come flying at her side Even a light come flying so far Even a light brighter than its spark Come to our sea come to ours! Remember magic days followed by the endless nights Every slight beautiful memoir Lying back down to the hazy long dark green Kingdom come replace the reservoir Even a light come flying at her side Even a light come flying so far Even a light brighter than its spark Come to our sea come to ours!

Death 04:02
When I'm an old man When I'm tired and dying I'll go easy my friend 'cause I lived as a young man When I'm an old man When my lifeline's the small straw I'll go easy my friend I'd like to see her pretty eyes Death This is what i'd say, "Take me as you will." You and I are binding in love that was destined Shift and churn in your heart towards the exit See how your body's suspended and breathless Apart from you and I Recall of memories are rapidly fading and Words jumbling in your head, falling back down to the dead For the worms we expect in the morning Surround you and I Now we'll go down to hillside river Lying in shade of the trees how you've often Lied in the sun breaking fragmented firelight around Sparkling and dancing along winds the water Nearly arrived back from a cloud fall Follow her down and then read how she rises on

I walked out into the street and strait out of town Don’t have the time to check my direction But I got the time To walk for days To not give them what they want To search for nothin’ and find it To be my own lover But I found a lover anyway And this road follows its own road So I wander through the dead train yard And keep a-burnin’ on I walked out into the street and strait outta town Don’t have the time to check my direction But I got the time To float down a slow river To not get to nowhere fast To praise the grace of a rhinestone To see the sky on the water Come take me down to the love in her face This rogue follows many roads So I rest under the heavy stars and keep a-burnin’ on Strait outta town I don’t have the time To check my direction, But I got the time To walk to days To not give them what they want To search for nothing and find it To search for nothing

The Reaper 03:28
You can dance on my heart in your high heels You’ve got your love bite and your Curling up along my side You were wrong to love two You were wrong to spit me out But now the time is golden I’ve seen a devil darling Now I know right and wrong Smells like snow, and it sounds like You’ve got you knit scarf and your favouring your better boot I went out to see you Gentle breeze comes the snowfall I’ve got reason for a sound mind And your the clearest one I can’t see nothing wrong Go tell the Reaper he can stop by You can dance on my heart in your high heels You’ve got your love bite and your Curling up along my side You were wrong to love two You were wrong to spit me out But now the time has come I’ve seen the clearest one And seven devils darling Go tell the Reaper he can stop by

Sea Lion 03:44
She lay backwards out on the mattress Long in love and heart of listening Sea lion, sea lions gone in an instant Run and hiding in love and mystic Gold for byron. Silver for leslie Wizard Byron meets the oldest pastor Love for David and love for Marley See how gardens grow At least be over the hills and beyond the city! Gold for Byron, silver for Leslie Rain comes raining when clouds reach the painting Striking strait as the grass colour is changing Then were all behind that old door your painting Back to the stack of art your creating! Gold for Byron’s hair auburn for Marley’s Rollin’ down to the sand comes Marley Smiling wide as a child, as she should be Hears the roars of a lion on the sea shore Speaks the language of all her creations Bold and silent, treads into water Good lord waits on his patrons calmly Ticking time is a long round river Sea lion, sea lions gone in an instant Run and hiding in love and mystic Gold for Byron, silver for Leslie
