Utah Phillips, on the rare occasions he wrote love songs, wrote them really well: straight to the point, always humanist, never transcendental and incredibly moving. I'd have thought VR would probably be similar. |

ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE - Dave Van Ronk When first I met you years ago in another time and place a thought came to my mind I'd never seen a kinder face or warmer laugh and gentler smile or eyes so full of light I'd be a fool if I didn't fall in love with you that night We've tramped around the world my dear our fortune was to roam but each place that I've been with you that place has been my home if now I wander on alone with no place to abide I'll be content for I was sent those wanderings at your side Love that blossoms in the night can't stand the test of time it ebbs and flows it comes and goes no reason reach nor rhyme as each day becomes another day each year another year I'd trade a year in heaven for a day with you my dear The miles flow on and I am gone to a wild and empty land where time's like an empty room and space an empty hand and the things we said and the jokes we made are echoes in the waste we'll meet again when hills are green in another time and place [repeat 1st verse] By Dave Van Ronk © 1982 Folklore Music ASCAP |

All the songs are original, but some like like "Head Inspector" were done in the 60s and the new versions are all-acoustic. |
