Description
"Flicker and Fade" represents a return to roots for this Tennessee expatriate. The songs explore life in the rear-view and the road ahead, with a sound inspired by the high desert spaces of the American Southwest- a good place to get your thinkin' done. David performs all the instruments on the record as well, in the tradition of the Nashville multi-instrumentalist.
Lyrics
PALE YELLOW FLOWERS You can stop now; drop me off just up ahead And I can promise, I never would admit I knew you when I guess anything can happen, but I'm gonna go the odds this time instead And say that there'll be pale yellow flowers When I see you again We were never meant for old bones, you and I Two of a kind, and neither one the stickin' type 'Cos when there's something beautiful, no one wants to stay to watch it die So there'll be pale yellow flowers When I see you again There's nothing you can hide, nothing you can do The sun will seek you out, and the lord will see you thru You cannot live your life; your life, it just lives you For a day at a time I'm a rambler; there's always something else around the bend And when I'm old and useless, I prob'ly will forget I knew you when I know anything can happen, but I'm gonna play the odds this time instead And bet that there'll be pale yellow flowers When I see you again ©2008 Fortune's Foe Music, ASCAP
