    Story Behind the Song
    This is Bruce and Henry collaboration. Bruce played the rhythm guitar and bass, and sequenced the drums, while Henry wrote the words and melody. Clayton Dyess plays lead guitar, and Scott Lemond added sax. We've been criticized for being real depressos with this song, but really it's just a VOICE, not what we truly think -- the musical equivalent of a dramatic monolog. Obviously, the dude in this song is pretty messed up and negative, but there is sort of a lift and hope at the end.

    Lyrics
    When you try to remember the smell of her hair
    on a cool dry evening when no one is there
    memories are distrusted and soon blow away
    give up till tomorrow or some other day
    listen to the cold wind blowing on its own way
    and the winter fog whispering as it crosses the bay
    your soul just can't stop talking
    but can't remember how to pray
    ask the night what it's trying to say

    Take a walk in the boneyard
    take a walk with me
    take a walk in the boneyard
    bout a quarter to three

    Love is a demon, it's lust that's your friend
    love is monster that betrays you in the end
    it will break out all your windows
    and kick in your doors
    hold your children for ransom
    and not tell you what for
    it will find you, it will kill you
    where ever you might hide
    everything you heard about it was a lie

    There's a fire on the ocean and mist in your eyes
    there's a rain on the desert and truth in these lies
    you watched while she was leaving and felt good for awhile
    what's 22 blocks, what's 2000 miles
    but there's a voice from the sand dunes
    across the road from the hill
    it's sweet and it's cool and it's sad sometimes
    and you can never get your fill
    you might remember it from somewhere
    I think you can if you will
    after midnight when the breezes are still

    Take a walk in the boneyard
    take a walk with me
