How To Find My Way Home (Peter O’Doherty) - This song went through several iterations before settling into its final form. I recorded it three times with lyric changes along the way; once too slow, once fast and rocky and the third time capturing a mood with meandering guitars that seemed to fit the slightly hallucinogenic theme of child’s eye memories filtered through time and experience.

Lyrics

How to Find My Way Home (Peter O’Doherty)
I walked on my shadow
I was just an outline
Drawn in a shaky hand
Ours to understand why
Sky was so blue
Ocean was too  Clouds were so high  Down where the ground meets the sky
Watching the wavering flames  In the flickering fire  The wind in the leaves  And the birds on the telephone wires
Butterfly dragonfly  There must be reasons why  Day turns to night  Down where the ground meets the sky
Through the window  Talk to the clouds Don’t go leaving me now  I don’t know how to find my way back
The names and the faces like signs  By the side of the road as we speed up
We are just making up time  Time to remember one day to forget
To be low to be high  Down where the ground meets the sky
Through the window  Talk to the clouds Don’t go leaving me now  I don’t know how to find my way back
How to find my way back
