I'm mesmerized by the tune and by the message in general. All I've been able to learn about the song is that it was supposedly part of a demo for a 'to-be-released' CD or album... A visit to Tom Rush's web site wasn't much help (perhaps I didn't persevere)... Any help with the lyrics would be most appreciated - Thanks - M. |
