GREEN BOOK TRAVELS
Music by Duane Hultin,
Lyrics based on " The Green Book "

Show me the hole that i can crawl up through
Show me the beacon for my shipwrecked soul
How far have i fallen? these words are like a spell
Can i ever make it back? I've got stories to tell
Of knives and of loneliness of faith and tears
Women fan flames of desire, barmen with no cheer
Souls lay drowned on the counter red blood runs through the cracks
My plea on a wet window, Can i ever make it back?

Within the green book travels hidden carefully
The roadmap to a place not everyone can be
Hidden high up on the shelf for kindred souls to see
Your adventures bursted out of your dreams

Old friends and strange voices appear on the scene
To banish out your demons that fade away as they scream
When angels appear from above don't ask where they're from
Don't ask for forgiveness or question their tongues
The memories of your friends that float down through the night
They slap at your face in the cool morning light
A gaze from a girl hidden deep in the trees
A Grecian sunset with blue waters swirling down around your knees


In bodegas and bordellos the waves and the sand
The flickering glow of a movie screen in some foreign land
Love letters never sent to chase the dangers away
Your demons never disappear so you just keep them at bay
In a storm or at peace a smile means the same
Given in secret or in daylight the promise remains
To the future to our friendship to the ghosts of a precious past
To bathing in the sunlight to be truly home at last
