Nomadic Love

Call myself Jezebel for wanting to leave

I'm not saying I'm replacing love for some other word
to describe the sacred tie that bound me to you
I'm just saying we've mistaken one for thousands of words
And for that mistake, I've caused you such pain that I damn that word

On the road again! Here at casa del Smith, awhirling vortex of testosterone with boys 4 and 6. They had a great pirate themed bash yesterday.

It was great to see the Tietjens in Chincoteague and the sisters in Jersey at the shore. Except those damnable green flies that picked me clean like a chicken bone while kayaking. They were ferocious.

There were no mosquitos in VA at the beach, but the flies were annoying (didn't bite though). One followed me into the car when i left on friday. The little bugger annoyed me all the way to Jersey til I finally blew the bastard out the airlock (window) Sigourney Weaver - Alien style. Boo yeah!

Then saw the Sheridans on sat and Jim, Mark, Ernie and I recorded the new Wayward Platypus Album. Expect to see GODLESS BLACK MAGIC in September!

Godless Black Magic is swamp river voodoo blues meets a concept album with progressive sensibilities. The best album of the year that no one will hear.

These kids keep growing! So good to see old friends. Life moves forward, which is a lovely thing. I realized more and more that the events of the last year rocked a lot more people's world then just mine. But we hold on!

I'm not one to believe in magic
But I sometimes have a second sight
I'm not one with a sense of proportion
When my heart still changes overnight

I had a dream of a winter garden
A midnight rendezvous
Silver, blue and frozen silence
What a fool I was for you

If I could wave my magic wand
I'd set everybody free
