about

The lyrics to "Black Wedge" come from a diary entry concerning some incredible cloud formations I saw on a road trip between Dallas and Tyler, Texas. They later came to represent the end of a relationship.

The original tracks for "Black Wedge" were recorded on my 8-track in Fort Worth, June, 1990. Some keyboard and vocal overdubs were done at the RCM studios in June of '91.

lyrics

Pointed accusation
Enormous
black wedge
Directed into
the northeast

And on the western edge
Eyebrows and candy lips
(you remember those)

Underbelly rolling
Suspended curtain
Unrolling mass
Pouring

Travelling with my friend
Enormous black wedge
It flies on the skyline

And on the western edge
Eyebrows and candy lips
(you remember those)
All is moving eastward.

Head of God

Always friends
good and true
Eastward
Nightshade
I must not fall behind

Head of God

I've passed the wedge
Hard, defined identity
Dispersed into the atmosphere

As with all good friends.
