I wrote this while treeplanting. Its Puff The Magic Dragon/Fleetwood Mac/N.Young/Bowie-ish. I was watching a 1970 N.Young concert on tv last night. Twas great,& inspired me to add harmonica. Soundclick #1 Feb/Mar/May 2004. remixed dec 2011-Jan 26 '04

Written in 3 minutes, went to the nearest campfire, picked up a guitar, and played it as is, the melody was so strong in my head. My favourite kind of baby.
Lyrics
When the nite is young
The sky is hung
Your girl is like your goddess
Its like a scene from a movie
but its not
Get hot take off
We both got lost
In our nightmares
Scandalous dreaming
And the sky is blue
And so are you
but you're not
the sky is blue
And so are you
but you're not
the sky is blue
And so are you
but you're not
Im happy here
Though my face is queer
This holiday cheer gets me high
But Ive got to fly
I don't know why
but I do
I don't know why
I've got to fly
but I do
don't know why
I've got to fly
but I do
In your selfless stare
Your empty chair
As you glide across the room
But you leave too soon
Leave the room
yeah you do
And I don't know why
I've got to fly
but i do
Don't know why
Ive got to die
but I do
