Ghost Song 04:52
write me a letter when you arrive and i will know your hand and i'll know your safe while your away until your home again write me a postcard before you sleep and tell me of your day tell me amusements that you have tried and of the friends you've made soon the lens of my dry eye will capture light from your face but while you take shelter in god's long arms won't you please gaze my way and see how the starlight overhead bleeds across the sky and see how the bluejay winds and she dives she's tumbling as she flies and soon the lens of my dry eye will capture light from your face but there's part of you with me in my heart and a part that's passed away

Fall Apart 01:16
fall apart like the pieces of my broken heart cupid shoots his tiny dart and suddenly i fall apart fall apart i'm as stable as a house of cards remove the queen of hearts and suddenly i fall apart fall apart you've upset me like an apple cart when you push too hard suddenly i fall apart

when the lion's mane washed ashore and the swimmers' skin grew red and shore an important lesson by all was learned that by death she is not deterred by death she is not deterred for beneath her flesh the poison stirs and it made a mess of rye new hampshire by death she is not deterred strangely beautiful her mane of tentacles but leave them as they were for by death she is not deterred and the simmers there who had all been burned they gathered around to look at her and by now you know the words by death she was not deterred strangely beautiful her mane of tentacles but leave them as they were for by death she is not deterred

dandelion wine a little sip of summer time shining as bright as a firefly in the dark when a cold wind blows in my heart someday soon the sun is gonna shine like dandelion wine dandelion wine shivering on a winter night and i'm blue as the hue of dragon fly 'cause its dark and a cold wind blows in my heart but someday soon the sun is gonna shine like dandelion wine someday soon some warm afternoon we'll laugh one more time but until we do pass the... dandelion wine a little sip of summer time shining as bright as a firefly in the dark when a cold wind blows in my heart someday soon the sun is gonna shine like dandelion wine

no regrets no deferrals there's no second chance just dance and a twirl at the ending of the world just a boy and a girl just a moment for romance take a chance give it a whirl it's the ending of the world and you always knew the end would be like this that you'd stroll up to me and you'd slay me with a kiss nothing lost nothing gained just the love that we made here it comes clutch your pearls it's the ending of the world one last look one last kiss one last breath this is it one last night one last summer night at the ending of the world

about

In 2011 I released "Sad Songs For Cell Phones" which included 13 tracks recorded on my iPhone 3GS. Continuing in that vein, this album contains 8 songs and 5 transitions recorded (mostly) on my iPhone 4. And this time the theme is "ghosts."

credits

released August 27, 2013

All songs written, performed and recorded by The Wiggly Tendrils with the following additions: "Dandelion Wine" was written with my good friend Darien, and "Transition Seven" includes cello played by my wife, Deirdre.
