1.
Way out there is the setting sun And some folks' long night has just begun We're chasing trees We're melting snow Night's first star, tell us where to go Our wheels are round, as round can be They carry you and they carry me Ain't none of these roads we've found so far Can carry me away from where you are I think we'll go for a ride
2.
If I take a right at the next light We'll take flight and say hello to the night Through the fog and the smog we'll cut a path And the moon and the stars will join us for a laugh Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! No need for ships or boats we'll float above the waves And exclaim to the sky that the ocean saves A kiss for it a little bit of love is all they're asking And in that embrace we'll fly away Into the sunset The world's at our doorstep And after the sunset We'll take one more step Into the sunset The world's at our doorstep
3.
The grass is growing, glowing green I get down low and stay unseen The game is war, and war's the game But my daydreaming mind's aflame I close my eyes and I leave the ground The world's bound like a book I've found Turn a page and forget my age Lost in the cage of a tyrant's rage Plan my escape with wit and charm Skill of a sword and a steady arm Oh the place I knew the best Autumn's dreaming, Winter's rest I'll return to play the game Spring's alighting Summer's flame
4.
Tell me a story of when we first met It was down by the water I'll never forget Oh the lake I remember was so warm that year We met at the creek were you sleeping my dear? Only dreaming my love of your flowing blond hair It was short and dyed auburn were you really there? My minds simply dazzled by your beauty and charm There your memory's returned there's no cause for alarm Oh, tell me this one thing Love, you make my heart sing Like watching the sunrise Reflect in our child's eyes You and me Sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G

about

A soundtrack to road trips inspired by some good friends who have taken flight with their family to travel the world, one journey at a time. The name of the album comes from the blog of their exploits (www.nighthawkflight.com), the Nighthawk being the worthy camper van they made their first adventures in. Sorry, I meant advantures.

Dedicated to the travelling pentad: Claire, J.D., James, Jasper, and Sage. May the Nighthawk ever grace the skies!

about

Phillip Le Ross British Columbia

My name is Phil and I'm a singer-songwriter living on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. I'm also a husband, a father, and a municipal worker. Somewhere in between all that, I try my best to follow the inner pull that urges on the next new song. My musical interests are varied and this reflects itself in the type of songs I write. Thanks for listening! ... more
