Description
This is the first in a project of remastering a lot of the old songs with Logic. This song just never had the clarity to make it really enjoyable, the bass was too weak, the vocals needed work and the lead guitar was to trebly...hopefully it sounds a lot better now. As always, advice on the mix is appreciated.
Chris and I wrote and played this one over some beers. Strangely David Bowie'ish and nice and psychedelic.

Lyrics
An Acre of Green
Lyrics: Chris Winters
Music: Rich Huston and Chris Winters
We were lying on the grass / And we were holding hands
The clouds were drifting past / We dreamed of different lands
Tracing figures in the sky / Before the sun went down
The clouds would disappear, and / The green would turn to brown
We later went away / Into our separate lives
Never had the time / To watch the clouds go by
In the murkiness of dream / Something still lies buried deep
A memory of green / Infiltrates our sleep
It’s easy not to think too hard
Of where it all comes from
Did it spring up just like weeds in the rain?
Let’s just take this one canard
Hold it tight and close
Don't ask me what it costs or who’ll pay, or when.
My mother had one and my father had one and
My brother had one and my sister had one and
I’ll have one, I think I want one
Now here’s a funny question / Would you have ever known
That you would have an acre / Of green to call your own?
We all have all the same things / We lie upon the grass
We planted in the ground / So time would never pass
