I wrote “Time is Wasting” for a movie a while back. It didn’t make the final cut, but I’ve always loved it. Dave Brophy played the drums and Zach Hickman played all the instuments. I sang my song. Hope you like! Rock on!

Crow feather blue is the color of the moonlight
Climb out your window, honey, tell me that I ain’t right
Come on paint the bottom of your feet with silver
The river let you cross while it’s looking in the mirror
Come on honey, time is wasting, hither hasten
Run the front porch jump the railing
Come on pretty honey baby time is wasting
I used to be bad people used to get hurt
So bad that better would’ve still’ve been the worst
But you took me to the garden girl you took me to thе light
You took me to the mountain and you gave my hеart sight
Come on honey, time is wasting, hither hasten
Run the front porch jump the railing
Come on pretty honey baby time is wasting
These days have made a change in me
I can see they’ve changed you too
Take me to the green grass take me down the line
Take me to the chapel everything will be fine
Over and over I will take your name
And nothing will be different and nothing be the same
Come on honey time is wasting, hither hasten
Run the front porch jump the railing
Come on pretty honey baby time is wasting
These days have made a change in me
I can see they’ve changed you too
