Lyrics

April 23, 2003

Hey Chris, it's, uh, April 23, 2003, how are you?

I hope things are good in Indiana

Uh, I'm glad you liked the, the last CD I sent you

So here's some more songs

Sorry for bombarding you with songs

Um, starting off this time with a song I wrote after the demonstration against the war in Iraq

Um, but it's a love song

I found a violinist, uh, and I'm thinking I'm gonna have strings on this one when I finish it

It should start something like

Um, I don't have the arrangement now but

Just imagine the strings
