I’m in the kitchen Carving a turkey Taking a picture for your wall Here with your parents You’re not invited I am still winning Happy thanksgiving I want to hurt you But I wouldn’t kill you I’m Still in the kitchen A hot cup of coffee Holding the campy mug Lord he may bless you Jesus may hate you Jonny I love you Marcus he loves you too And I’m paying for it Cuz I did it for the bit And I'm paying for it Cuz I did it for the bit We were at Waxman’s Holiday party Trashing the aisles Leaving the writing on the walls Breaking the candles The music was blaring We followed Jakey Spilling into the street Crossing a boundary I know where you’re hiding Your parents were lying Your parents don’t love you And I’m paying for it Cuz I did it for the bit And I did it for Marcus

Heron Blues 05:53
Red you could see from the gap Trees bend the light into narrow paths // Do you see the golden light It’s the glowing like kind of high Like electric lights around the lake I found that place when I turned 38 // Red you can’t see from a map Trees bend the light into narrow paths // I lost my way when I was 25 In the eastern states at night I saw the valley wall reflect the lights I tried to get my spirit right // Places you find on a map Lines you can see from a mountain pass I found a home near the lake Trees towering in the quiet rain Blue heron wings like a breath Nest up the hill by the mossy steps Ferns lying low in the frost Red cedar log that you have to cross // I found another place at 32 I yelled and cried and fell in love with you I found my home when I turned 38 In the rain at Sandpoint Lake // Sometimes I love things fast These heron blues took a while to catch Sometimes I love things fast These heron blues took a while to catch

about

Winter in seattle seems to be the most productive time for me to write and record music - these are some of those songs. Hope you enjoy listening. Do you see?

Jeffrey Benjamin Alvarez Seattle, Washington

Billy Mumphrey was a simple country boy, some might say a cockeyed optimist who got himself mixed up in the high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue.
