lyrics

I taught the belly surfer how to belly surf
I skinned my knees on artificial turf
Sometimes I miss sitting in the dark
Staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a spark

I taught the jellyfish how to go on bread
I showed the corpse how to play dead
Sometimes I miss walking through the dark
Two eyes open
Waiting for a spark

I was alive in 1893
I had ideas that were stolen from me
Sometimes I miss when everything was dark
Creeping through the shadows
Waiting for a spark

I demonstrated how to duck and run
When I pinched your Dad and he pulled out a gun
I sure do miss talking in the dark
Bathing in the moonlight
Waiting for a spark

There is a house down in New Orleans
You can go there if you give up on your dreams
Sometimes I miss kissing in the dark
Looking for an answer
Waiting for a spark

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
