Liner Notes

This is a song--maybe even a valentine--for a friend. Maybe one of these days I'll even explain it.

To me it feels like the Eagles tried to write a Grateful Dead song.

Lyrics

Slowly you crept your way inside, cold hands in mine,
Set in your ways, feeling your days done by.
Somewhere inside of me you dwell. I’ll never know what befell you,
Brought you to me, a bird in a tree between flights.

I feel you move behind my eyes, wearing me like a disguise,
But I still don’t know why you’re there.

You’ve got your own ways, You hold your own sway,
Ethel. Heaven knows why you came or how long you’ll stay.
You’ve got your own ways, You hold your own sway,
Ethel. Whatever you’ve done to me, don’t take away,
Ethel.

Slowly I’m learning to see the you within me,
Changing my ways, embracing the days still ahead.
You’re in my heart and my soul, I’ll never try to control you.
Learning to learn, feeling your burn inside my head.

Looking through one set of eyes, each is the other’s disguise,
But I’m thankful that you’re there.

You’ve got your own ways, You hold your own sway,
Ethel. Heaven knows why you came or how long you’ll stay.
You’ve got your own ways, You hold your own sway,
Ethel. Whatever you’ve done to me, don’t take away,
Ethel.

Looking through one set of eyes, each is the other’s disguise,
But I’m thankful that you’re there.

We’ve got our own ways, We hold our own sway,
Ethel. Heaven knows why you came or how long you’ll stay.
We’ve got our own ways, We hold our own sway,
Ethel. Whatever you’ve done to me, don’t take away,
Ethel.
