    It reminds me the time I used to travel around with a bus to go to a special place. Old memories with a secret love. Weed and confusion on my mind. Ben, keep Protecting and set us free from bad friendships with your art. Because “if I was to go my home way would I have to pass you by again? My love.” I don’t know.

    Black flies on the windowsill
    That we are
    That we are
    That we are to know
    Winter stole summer's thrill
    And the river's cracked and cold
    See the sky is no man's land
    A darkened plume to stay
    Hope here needs a humble hand
    Not a fox found in your place
    No man is an island, this I know
    But can't you see?
    Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone
    Black flies on the windowsill
    That we are
    That we are
    That we are to hold
    Comfort came against my will
    And every story must grow old
    Still I'll be a traveler
    A gypsy's reins to face
    But the road is wearier
    With that fool found in your place
    No man is an island, this I know
    But can't you see?
    Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone
    No man is an island, this I know
    But can't you see?
    Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone
    So here we are
    And I don't wanna beg your pardon
    And I don't wanna ask you why
    But if I was to go my own way
    Would I have to pass you by?
    And I don't wanna beg your pardon
    And I don't wanna ask you why
    But if I was to go my own way
    Would I have to pass you by?

    NOTHING sounds as good as that Martin! I have an HD-28 as well and I never get tired of listening to it. This is such a powerful song, especially when played on a Martin. Great stuff Ben!
