Had some nice quiet/candle/guitar time in the Man-Cave™ tonight. This is what came out.
Thanks for checking it out,

RIVERS.mp3 - [12.26.06]
Sitting in a seaside bar right next to Mexico
Pretty girl pulls up and smiles and says to me
"I can tell your future for a fifty dollar bill
or I can make you smile right now for free"
All the people that we meet
Rivers flowing endlessly
Sixteen degrees and no one else is on the road
Drifter up ahead, I slow and let him in (he said)
"I could tell you stories that would make you laugh for hours
But hell if I remember where I've been"
All these mem'ries that we keep
Rivers flowing endlessly
[instrumental break]
Little girl says "daddy can you play me your guitar?"
I just smile and nod my head (she said)
"You should write a simple song that makes me want to sing
And play it for me when I go to sleep"
All these reasons we believe
Rivers flowing...
Endlessly
[instrumental ending]

Beautiful atmospheric recording. I like the deceptively simple guitar part...and that special note in the middle. :)
And the sound of an active household is always a cool character to have in a recording (and many times almost impossible to avoid).
