Marshall McLean: songs and lyrics

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

This song was written last year in Missoula, Montana where I spent my first year of marriage with my wife Nina. We had our first tiny apartment together while I went to school and Nina worked. the time spent there was a dream that became a reality for us, as we had been dating for three years before this living six hours apart. We found life there in that town that felt like the Garden of Eden. The life we had prayed for was finally ours so I wrote this song which first appeared on the notes I took from Greek class.

hey lady lately, there's been nowhere to be, and as for company there's only been me, and we've been talking, we've been trying to decide, if morning's a lady, we both think she's shy, she's been coming up all day. I think she's scared to show her face.
so measure your distance and pace all your steps, number the lines from the ledges you have lept, you know I need to be where you are, you know I can't be that far...
hey eve, do you believe it?
hey eve, i think we made it, i think we found our peice of Eden, and fruit or our silence is the things we're barley speaking, so eve settle down, and hey eve just look around you, and hey lady, look where you are, we don't need to be that far...
and under the trees of eden you might find, the ground is softer, there's much sweeter wine, the clocks are broken, but we still got the time, we got the time enough to kill, we got time enough to kill...
i woke up in a den of flightless angels, and I got up with these thoughts of mine all tangled, and there you were you were starring in my eyes saying things will be alright, and i was missing a peice of my side...
