Story Behind the Song
For anyone who experienced the heartache
of family dysfunction, and their parents divorcing-you will witness the pain for here it is reflected but also.... the fact that sweet release is found-within the strains of the song-such is the power of music...
When I was a child, and things became
unbearable-I would flee to the woodland area behind our little 10x50 trailer, and take solace from the stillness of the forest-
I wrote this song when as an adult, I began trying to come to terms with all that had happened, and the song has brought closure of sorts-"Trails of Wood & Vine" took two years to complete--My friend, Reggie Hudson- heard the song-he said he really could relate to it-and so he came back two days later with an excellent sort of James Taylorish acoustic arrangement done, and I felt right away it suited the flavour of what I was trying to portray-
This version was recorded on my mini-disk at home, and a new studio version is waiting to be mastered and will be downloaded soon-recorded and arranged by Drew & Chris LeGros. I am very pleased that the new version captures the feel of the forest-and my love for nature, and all it holds.
Lyrics
My feet would find
The trails of wood & vine
The coolness & the scent
Would ease my mind
My secret place
A haven of oak & pine
Here no angry voices fell
Peace was mine
For it seemed
As though the branches
Were reaching just for me
The leaves & I were shadow dancers
And there was time
For childhood dreams
The sun's embrace
I now wear upon my face
Though the anger has been spent
Each scar remains
That old memory stone
Buried so deep
Within my soul
Like the roots
Of tangled vines
Though I am grown
It still seems
As though the branches
Are reaching just for me
The leaves and I are shadow dancers
And there's still time
For childish dreams
I go back
I go back
I go back
To walk the trails of Wood & Vine
