About this song... I’ve never played it anywhere... it’s only ever rattled around insde my head... but I still know it pretty well... and it recorded about the way I heard it... about the only thing that was different... i heard the big crunchy guitar all the way through... and when it came time to mix.. i edited that out until the end... OH about the end ... sorry about the cheesy prop... but the way I see this song... It’s Gino Vanelli at best (Storm at Sunup).. or more likely Michael Bolton at worse... enough to get you kicked off Macjams... too much drama... I thought seriously about cutting this as a country tune.. you know kicked my dog ect.
anyway... I’m very happily married, and marrige is sacred... just the same... I really don’t want to play this for my wife... she wouldn’t get this on any level... and I don’t endorse this behavior, although, it’s a very accurate autobiography, that I wouldn’t want to re-live... and the episode was a strange route to healing and resolution..
I haven’t had my studio on for at least six months.. I’ve been going thru a few things that have sapped my energy, and I just don’t want to write about any of it yet... so I tapped into some of the current dark to get this out... again I’m not complaining... these are the things life throws at you... If your going to open your mouth and write songs about hope, you should expect to be tested... talk is cheap
if anyone ever wanted to put a real sax on this.. it would certainly be welcomed.... Ed?

Lyrics
THIS RIVER OF YEARS SHOULD HAVE WASHED HER FAR AWAY
BUT SHE FLOWS THRU ME AND IT FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY
SOMETIMES I STILL SMELL HER HAIR
I STILL TASTE HER TEARS
I STILL SEE HER EVERYWHERE
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
AND GOD HAVE MERCY... WHAT WE LOST
WHEN SHE MADE THIS CHOICE
AND NOW THERE’S JUST THIS TELEPHONE
LET ME HEAR HER VOICE
AREA CODE 908
IS THERE LOVE ON THE LINE
YOU KNOW I’LL WAIT
SHORTEN THIS DISTANCE BETWEEN US
THE MILES.. THE YEARS... THIS FATE
BRING ME HER VOICE BEFORE IT GETS TOO LATE
AREA CODE 908
SHE’S GOT HER LIFE NOW... I’VE GOT MINE
BUT HER VOICE IS MUSIC TYING UP MY LINE
PLAYFUL CHILDREN BACKGROUND NOISE
BUSY WITH HER HANDS
SARAH SOON WILL NOTICE BOYS
TOM’S A REAL GOOD MAN
AND YEARS AGO I STEPPED ASIDE
THIS SILENCE SERVED US WELL
BUT NOW I’VE LOST THE STRENGTH TO HIDE
IM STILL UNDER HER SPELL
AREA CODE 908
IS THERE LOVE ON THE LINE
YOU KNOW I’LL WAIT
SHORTEN THIS DISTANCE BETWEEN US
THE MILES.. THE YEARS... THIS FATE
BRING ME HER VOICE BEFORE IT GETS TOO LATE
AREA CODE 908
ONLY WHISPERS IN THE WINDY WOOD
WERE THOSE MOMENTS OF MY LIFE
AND NOW TALK’S ALL SHE’S GOT LEFT FOR ME
SHE IS SOMEONE ELSE'S WIFE
NOW I NEVER CAN BE NEAR HER
AND THIS MAN WILL STAY AT HOME
AND GOD KNOWS THAT I MUST FEAR HER
STILL I AM REACHING FOR MY PHONE
SHORTEN THIS DISTANCE
THE MILES.. THE YEARS
BRING ME HER VOICE BEFORE
TOO LATE
AREA CODE 908
BUT SHE FLOWS THRU ME AND IT FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY
SOMETIMES I STILL SMELL HER HAIR
I STILL TASTE HER TEARS
I STILL SEE HER EVERYWHERE
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
AND GOD HAVE MERCY... WHAT WE LOST
WHEN SHE MADE THIS CHOICE
AND NOW THERE’S JUST THIS TELEPHONE
LET ME HEAR HER VOICE
AREA CODE 908
