lyrics

In the early morning
The procession of everything I've ever feared
Recedes back from whence it came
From the dust
The dust from whence it came
Once again shakes loose from my beard
My beard
My beard
You shampoo'd my beard

In the early morning sun
See colors fall back into place
Already knew you were the one
And now this tingle on face
Already knew you were the one
And now this tingle on face

Traces back to care
In this dewy morning air
Was that a cat fight over night?
Bits of fur caught in the light
Was that a cat fight over night?
Bits of fur caught in the light

Your love embraced me in the chair
Held me down to just a stare
At first you trusted me to stay
I wriggled free and broke away
At first you trusted me to stay
I wriggled free and broke away

Lathered up a wild raccoon
In the hopes just like the moon
He'd get clear and bright again
In the hopes just like the moon
He'd get clear and bright again
Didn't know he'd never been loved
In the midst of being feared
Until you shampoo'd his beard

Under the stars who wave goodbye
Stripes were showing on my tail
Your lIght is filling up the sky
Laughter spilling down the trail
Your lIght filling up the sky
Laughter spilling down the trail

Before I could play hard to get
Our shadows tangled on the lawn
You know I never will regret
Your smile at that fading dawn
You know I never will regret
Your smile at that fading dawn

Lathered up a wild raccoon
In the hopes just like the moon
He'd get clear and bright again
In the hopes just like the moon
He'd get clear and bright again
Didn't know he'd never been loved
In the midst of being feared
Until you shampoo'd his beard

about

Karl Blau Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

These records are all over the place. My latest studio record Love & Harm consists of a modern country rock sound featuring the pedal steel of Jon Hyde (Introducing) and amazing players you'd recognize from playing on stage with me. Living in Germantown, Philadlephia, started a recording project called Opal Eskar, check that out too. ... more
