about

This song started off as an experiment in trying to become a better drummer. Then it turned into a single about west coast birds, old friends, and partners in crime!

lyrics

Last night I held your hand
Went to the smoldering sands
Sat down under laurels and pines
Sunsets a glistening shine

The sandpiper calls in the night
I kiss your eyes
I know why the shorebirds cry

After the moondark falls
We lay as the kingfisher calls
Walk back to our shack on the blue
Sit down our feelings renewed

The sandpiper calls in the night
I kiss your eyes
I know why the shorebirds cry
