    Whether you love the warm sound of vinyl or just enjoy a beautiful 12" piece of artwork, this is the primo incarnation of "Claiborne Avenue." My 1st vinyl LP ever, in 30+ years of making music. NOTE because vinyl sound degrades with more than 21 minutes per side, you get two fewer tracks with this version (but you also get digital download codes for the whole album). Track List: Side One 1.

lyrics

JUST TO BE

Well I’m looking for sanity
In my fifty-fourth year
Better late than never
Better courage than fear

And I’m trying to find wisdom
Just a drop at a time
Trying to turn off the noise
And shut off my mind

If my soul could rest peaceful
If my brain could be quiet
It sounds so impossible
But I’m still gonna try it

Cause I’ve been running in circles
For oh so long
And in so many ways
I have been so wrong

So baby let us rest, together
And baby we’ll be blessed, forever
Such a gift we have received
Just to breathe, just to be

You know I had such promise
Back when I was young
All those words I wrote
All those songs I sung

What did it all amount to?
Who was I trying to show?
Now it’s time to move on
Time to let it all go

I had longing in my heart
From so early on
And I know that this longing
May never be gone

But it don’t have to rule me
I can take a stand
And I won’t let it fool me
I can be my own man

So baby let us rest, together
And baby we’ll be blessed, forever
Such a gift we have received
Just to breathe, just to be
