I am the dreamer that came along In the age of deceivers and sang my song I cannot give you the world But I'm gonna hold you till it ends In the nick of time You have a smile that lights a room Come with me darling We'll combat the gloom I cannot give you the world But I'm gonna hold you till it ends I cannot give you the world But I'm gonna hold you while it burns I cannot give you the world But I'm gonna hold you till it ends I cannot give you the world But I'm gonna hold you while it burns In the nick of time

When I was young, I was a foolish son Thought I knew it all at fourteen Now I'm amused by the words of Twain With the passing time now I see And as we all start to age The wisdom of our fathers beckoning Seems we are souls in a cage Ever changing, but never changing Ever changing, but never changing A finite man, my time is short Slowly learn to take it day by day I hope in time to receive a kind report The wisdom of my father, as I grey And as we all start to age The wisdom of our fathers deafening Seems we are souls in a cage Never changing, but ever changing Never changing, but everchanging

In the mellow dim bright Of an old silver screen light The matinee plays While actors plead for better days Not another sad ending Can't shake the vibe Of a frivolous misspent life The wick needs a friend When the candle's burned out at both ends Desperately in need of some mending The sun goes down On a hollow town Let's paint night into day Silence stands tall And words are small In this state of disarray In a ruffled decor An aging lost boy yearns for more A slave to hindsight Infinite recreated lies Stray reflections unending

I'm trying to find my way back From the mess I became And all the days I dealt in pain No apologies were ever made My hair it slowly greys But wisdom still abstains And another sad refrain Apologies I'll never make We enter through the low road And we lose hope On the long road But I'll try again Tomorrow

about

At some point, every Beatles and Beach Boy lover makes their Beatle or Beach Boy record. I guess this is mine, a mixture of new and old tunes, tracked in an apartment. For the record, I don't recommend tracking drums in an apartment...

Nothing but hot mics, and insanity inducing mad science. Anyway, it's been a while since I tracked full band. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.

Dedicated to my brother, sisters, mom, dad, and grandmothers.

Nick of Time is for Keeks, the love of my life.

Recorded in loving memory of Cecil Surratt, Lee Snow, and Livia Rose

Special thanks to Spoken Nerd, Cantalouper, kidDEAD, Brandon Brains, and Invisible Library.

Additional thanks: my neighbors, who surely heard drums and percussion, not to mention vocals, and to the countless friends and musical collaborators spread across this city, country, and planet.
