the grackle birds were in the backyard all day
i was thinking of the words that i oughta say
to tell you it was wrong
we could not keep on
the way that we were keeping on
then the dog decided to chew up your left shoe
and i drank more whiskey than either of us could use
funny how sometimes
you do not even try
and you blow it all up like a stick of dynamite
oh moon
can we make amends
for this night when it all had to end
so you light a fire to burn the last page
throw on a log and a handful of dried sage
oh sleep with me tonight
make it feel alright
pretend we are not living in a lie
oh moon
can we make amends
for this night when it all had to end
in the morning i was seeing you with new eyes
you were looking so much older
and i was less hypnotized
it was all the same
but everything had changed
talking to me like i don't even know her name
oh moon
can we make amends
for this night when it all had to end
for this night it had to end

Three Whole Years alone is worth the price of admission, everything else is just icing on the cake. Excellent instrumental album from one of the best bluegrass/jazz fusion guitarists out there. NTRMN90
I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
