From the recording Night Roads
We live on the Lakeshore Road that meanders along Lake Erie. One rainy night I was looking out the window and saw tail lights of a vehicle disappearing into the mist. I had this curious thought that I could be looking out in any year - 1950, 1930, whatever - and the scene would be the same. It was like time-traveling in my mind's eye, and it gave me an eerie feeling. I sat down to capture that frisson in a song.
