There's a walk on a line By the grapevine coast Where the rocks don't cut your feet But they pillow your steps As you walk over Foggy banks of the spring retreat It's a stone away But away from sight Can be heard in a moment's time You can sharpen ears Of corn on the breeze As it ripples through the climbs You're a step ahead And you glance behind See the flowers glistening proud It's a lonely day You're so far away Walking stones above the clouds PK © 25 I 99

Stolen Car 03:53
Middle of the road Is where I ran out of gas I spent too much on fuel And didn't get my money's worth I got this car ten days ago But it isn't really mine I stole it from my cousin On my day of birth I took it to the station Where nobody asks for registration It already had ten thousand miles So nobody really cared Well that was all ten days ago And it left me in a bind I never made it to the sticks And now I'm broken down and scared It was all well understood It was a gift for me It was kinda from my cousin Though I didn't catch his name The whole family stood around In a conversation matinee They're all respectively rich But their money's all the same PK © 25 I 99

Winter Bird 03:39
In the early hours of the morning I'm on the long highway Many miles between my many homes The sun is rising on another day I almost had a girl in Carolina Another up in cold Sault Ste. Marie But I am bound to the devil's highway And I'm gone before the morning dawns on me I've been out here many a long winter Cruising like a winter bird on wing I'll settle down soon as the wind stops blowing And curl up in the ageless wedding ring In the early hours of the morning I'm on the long highway Many miles between my many homes The sun is rising on another day PK © 30 I 99

Winter Birds 10:22
Once again I'm feeling out of my time Like something's missing from the air I need a quarter but I haven't got a dime Don't feel I'm going anywhere Look out the window at a rainy day I'm hearing someone else's song I think of pictures that have faded away I put the lovesick kettle on I saw you standing at the lonesome water On a lonesome rainy day I only knew you as your father's daughter I didn't know you had been raised that way I'm hearing echoes of the passenger cars On the other side of town Winter birds are flying like messenger stars Snow is covering the ground Once again I'm feeling out of my time Like something's missing from the air Winter birds are flying through my mind Cold and windy way up there PK © 29-31 I 99

about

Volume 3 is tape #89 recorded in the basement and in my bedroom on the main floor of 1253 Davenport Road on Sunday, January 31st, 1999. Three of these songs were recorded again in 2015, trying to recapture the spirit and feeling of these tapes (see Winter Birds, the album). I used to work at a Canadian Tire and I remember that the lyric the song Winter Bird was written on a piece of cardboard with a sharpie in the garbage compactor the I was having trouble unclogging so sat down for a break which is an unspeakably foolish thing to do. That was a sad place and a sad time.
