	This one was always one of my favorites; just posted a recording of Becky and I doing it at our country practice the other night. I always heard "where I can finally rest/and lay my head down" as "where i can find a place/to lay my head down", so i sing it that way. whoops! the best part of this tune for me is the transition to the chorus, going to the as yet unheard relative major. I just never really expect that there. A local classic.

 i still like the pivot on the B7 from e minor to G major. it's a nice progression. this song was probably most inspired by Lyle Lovett's If I had a boat. I was listening to that song a lot a the time.

-i wrote this at my parents house during xmas break during my senior year of college. i hadn't written anything in what felt like a very long time and was worried i would never write again. i think the chords came fist. the lyrics came in sequentially with great effort. i remember feeling quite impressed with tight internal rhymes in the verses. at the time, i thought it was the best song i had written. i was very pleased with it.

 looking back at it now the melody seems weak, and though i'm still happy with most of the lyrics the second half of the chorus looks awful. reading it now it seems affected (stars inside my chest to keep me facing west), inconsistent (facing north / facing west), and redundant (where i can rest AND lay my head down).

		+	me and my

		+	through the night
		+	dark and lonely
		+	we keep our heads down
		+	while the moons out
		+	please don't let the light shine in my eyes
		+	tonight
		+
		+	i've been moving
		+	for a few weeks
		+	that i'm adrift
		+	in a thousand snowflakes
		+	i've got to keep moving
		+	to keep from freezing
		+	if i slow down

		+	and i won't rest tongiht

		+	i've got stars hung above the poles

		+	and lay my head down

		+	i've heard boats on
		+	the arctic ocean
		+	have to move
		+	or they'll stay frozen
		+	their daylight withers
		+	until its a sliver
		+	which cuts the night
		+	and buries in her side
