So if, "Come On" was the beginning of the mini-rock opera, this was the closer. This was also the only song that Dan Patterson ever played outside of Undulata. Somewhere there is a recording of Dan and I playing this with our first attempt at a band- The Confused (a rare instance in truth in advertising). In the earliest recording, I played the lead guitar in the recording (albeit, with less finesse).
If you listen closely, you can really hear the campfire on this one. The song was our good night song for the rest of the summer. I resurrected the song years later when I became a father. It's a nice lullaby. It's fitting that it ends the album.
Song to You
This is my song to you,
This is what I'll do for you,
I hope you like it when it's through.
Some people call it a sad song,
But don't get me wrong,
Just close your eyes and it won't be long.
This is your song from me,
I've tried my best to set you free,
Now you must be what you are going to be.
The stars are moving rapidly,
You are you and I am me,
I hope that you have learned to see.
