    CD has "BONUS TRACK". . . it's not really a bonus track; it's that the download version is missing a track because song clearance costs more than double if it's downloadable. It's a cover of the Beatles' "BLUE JAY WAY",written by George Harrison. It is an important part of the flow of experience of this album,as 1 of 2 cuts that are the only ones some people would call "songs"( ! ), but also in regard to album composition...And don't most artists want their music to be experienced as albums?

lyrics

a fountain of knowledge, a challenge to youth.
Lovely all the way - all the way.
i wanted to tell her about...
i wanted to ask about...
she made it on her own; she explored the earth alone
kenya more than once; bali more than twice

- and me, i dropped the ball and watched it roll.

. . . but i'm happy for her. she's free.

i never knew of a Love or a partner
i wonder if she knew i wondered.
but i just stumbled on [on my trip -?]
always waiting for...
just as soon as...
it was getting late, i should have known.
her one-room 5th floor walk-up was filled with boxes of stuff for everybody.
now i have a box of postcards and i have a box of gamelan tapes.
i have a box of questions, and some Odetta.

i selfishly hoped her spirit was here with me...
but, no. she's free.

peace at last.
