Recorded live with acoustic and voice overs at my wee home studio in 2010 with Naoh Maltsberger, Fabio Perozzolo, and Hiro Sakaba

lyrics

Open up your window let the new air in
Open up your window let the new air in

The storm has cleared your shores
of bones and wood from high tied
She'll continue to erode your landscape
if you try to hide
There is now way to hold back these changing tides
so lay your roots down loose and spread the far and wide

It's been a long time
Its' been a long time

Open up your windo let the new air in
Open up your window let the new air in

The road you know so well is closing
and this turn is wide
Let the flood lights cast away the sahdows
in your tiered eyes
There is now way to hold back these changing tides
so lay your roots down loose and spread them far and wide

It's been a long time
It's been a long time

If you look out there
you can clearly see
how the tides turn
just like you and me
we've got to turn sometimes

And if you go out there
where things can grow
the grow wild and free
just like you and me
we've got to grow sometimes

And when the rain comes
and the rising sea
you can run and hide
or you can swim with me
we've got to play sometimes

It's been a long time
