about

We lived on Camano Island on a high bank beside the Puget Sound. Looking across the water was another island. It was bucolic, but a bit isolated.

lyrics

Living incognito on our isle of bliss
Leaving all the world behind, can't it be like this
The tide goes out and the tide comes in
Apple tree blossoms and the summer begins

That's life in the slow lane with you babe
That's life in the slow lane
I'll live a lot longer with you babe
I wanna live a lot longer with you.

Do you want to read awhile till we close our eyes\
We can talk tomorrow about our whats and whys
The twilight goes on till almost midnight
But we can turn out the light are you sleepy now - quite.

I've been around the world and I've been to London too
The sunset in Jerusalem is really quite a view
Some days I wake up and don't know where I'm at
Some say that home is wherever you hang your hat.

I do not care about fortune or fame
I do not care if they ever know my name
I do not want to try any new toothpaste
Living with anyone else would be a waste.

Chaim Bezalel Stanwood, Washington

My mother had a collection of 78 rpm records of folk music and I became a folk music lover from a young age. I attended festivals and concerts, sat with Libba Cotten when she sang Freight Train. I learned to pick sitting in Washington Square as a teenager. However, I did not begin writing songs until my 50's. I am also a poet and artist. I live in Wasnhington State and in Israel. ... more
