about

This one is a little alt country ditty. I love everything about it other than the bass line. My friend Jeff Blatcher sings on it with me in the end. It speaks to the push and pull of relationships, of interplay between interdependence and independence that makes for a successful relationship (at least it has so far).Some of the imagery pays homage to the line of strong farming women I come from and I really did have that dream about the sultan and horses.

lyrics

I dreamt that I married, I married a sultan
And he taught me, he taught me to breed
Unbending family trees drawn from the strongest seed
So the dynasty repeats, but the blood horse always bleeds

And you're just a man, you do what you can
I still have my own two hands
To wash and weed
To sow the seed
Until your heart returns to me

We're touch and go again
Body and soul again
We rock and roll again
Body and soul again

We finish to begin again
The sun comes up
The day just ends
And I don't want to lead you on
I know you're not that kind of man

We're touch and go again
Body and soul again
We rock and roll again
Body and soul again
