on the Northside of Ontario
we went driving
down a familiar road
swore i'd been there before
but couldn't recognize
any of the road signs
then suddenly i realized
you only took me there sometimes
an envelope no return address
sending me your very best
these things are awfully nice
but something don't feel right
then suddenly it all made sense
i recognize those sentiments
the ones you gave me only sometimes
only sometimes
am i on your mind
only sometimes
do i get to walk by your side
i don't want to be
so unholy
i want to be always
not only sometimes
fresh cut flowers on the table
don't it feel so simple
sitting side by side
watching the time go by
then suddenly it came to me
you were never mine to keep
i only kept you sometimes
only sometimes
am i on your mind
only sometimes
do i get to walk by your side
i don't want to be
so unholy
i want to be always
not only sometimes

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
