down in mexico try'n too have a little fun kicking down around that highway one i could see some hollyhocks swayn' in the breeze and some horses running down by the sea by the sea let them run away let them run away fade away let them fade away drift away let your heart be free drift away hannah say's shes got a plan for you but most things just dont really work that smooth and their some things that you just can't have and other things that just slide right out of your hands out of your hands let them slide away let them slide away fade away let them fade away drift away let your heart be free drft awa

about

“Shaking a Tree” is my third collection of tunes. Four songs about love, love lost, alienation, the experience of creation, the pain of the moment and the drudgery of existence. I hope the songs will move you, tap your feet.
