about

his song found its genesis under a moon in Asheville, North Carolina, where I walked a path lined with strawberries. No doubt I was subconsciously affected by the ‘double A-sided Beatles single’ of John Lennon’s ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ and Paul McCartney’s ‘Penny Lane.’
By the time I put the finishing touches on the song, I was back together with the fellow who inspired it.

lyrics

Oh you and I, we walked down Strawberry Lane, together
Drinking in that old moon in the sky

I met you at the Lone Star Café
I was coming from nowhere, halfway to somewhere
You were heading my way
Our dusty trail, came alive
With the dreams we found to sow
We planted and picked ‘em, sometimes we baked ‘em
And served ‘em up à la mode

Oh you and I, we walked down Strawberry Lane, together
Drinking in that old moon in the sky

But did we reach a fault line in our hearts?
Did we hit the spot, where love stopped
And we could not get across
Now I’m back at the Café, on my own
Destination Turkeypoint or Rome
Staring aimlessly, my plate empty
Do I text or telephone?

Whoa honey, why don’t we give it one more try
Why don’t we see if you and I can still light up
That old moon way up high

And once again, we’ll walk down Strawberry Lane, together
Drinking in that old moon
Drinking in that old moon
Drinking in that old moon in the sky
