    This is a good old, factory made & conventionally printed CD; which is to say it's not handprinted by Eleanor but it's got all the songs on there plus liner notes. It actually wasn't made in a factory it was made up in Maine by our friends at Crooked Cove who have a small CD making operation.

lyrics

My chair faces towards the window
hands in lap
eyes closed
I reach through October rain
where is he where is he
searching...
where is he now?
ah you’re nestled now in Nowhere, New York
Nowhere, New York State

In bright Hispañola
we face each other me and your father
he sits like a Buddha
loyal to some higher power
who rests a hand on your father’s shoulder
as he observes me
he said “why do you love my son?”
why do you love my son

Spanish is the language of rivers
that ran rogue from the cruel king of Spain
so here is an ode to freedom
here is an ode to pain

Today is your day of rest
rest now, rest well
tomorrow your back will ache
in the cavernous factory
don’t forget to stand tall
do it for me

A hurricane
yawned upon the far shore
the shore of your island
it took many lives
but not yours
because you’re restless now
in Nowhere, New York
Nowhere, New York state
unknown
Alone
