Sky Lyrics

People say that you can really get to know a person's heart by the things they create. This is especially true with a songwriter. Here are some lyrics Dave has written. All of these songs can be found on his 'QBF' record. We hope that you will get a little glimpse of what's inside 'the man'.

Aspen April Morning

There's a certain feelin' when I wake up
with that early mornin' sun shinin' on me
I feel so good I just want to get up
and show the world what it means to be free
and I think of you lyin' here beside me
and I try to imagine how we'll spend the day
I wish that other people could have what we share
Oh Lord, I just love feeling this way

And that Colorado Aspen April morning
keeps shinin' so much sweetness on me
with you I'll spend this Aspen April morning
we'll love and teach the world to be free

I gaze out my window at the roses
and think of how they remind me of you
the beauty of the lilies in the meadow
still sparkling from the early morning dew
oh I wish that every morning was like this one
I'd like to see this special beauty stay
I'm glad that we can speend this time together
I wouldn't have it any other way

And that Colorado Aspen April morning
keeps shinin' so much sweetness on me
with you I'll spend this Aspen April morning
We'll love and teach the world to be free

The sun breaking over the top of the mountains
birds fill the morning air with song...
I'm glad that we're livin' in Aspen
'cause Aspen is where you and I belong

And that Colorado Aspen April morning
keeps shinin' so much sweetness in on me
with you I'll spend this Aspen April morning
we'll love.... and teach the world... to be free...

Summer Rain

Hey can you remember when
we all headed out of town for little playin'
we were all havin' so much fun
can you believe what everyone was sayin'
Smiles on a face wouldn't go away
even in the heat of the summer sunshine
I'm so glad when I'm with you girl
you've just got to know you make me feel so fine

And I just like holding you and standing in the summer rain
And so still you stand there, just a friend...in the summer rain

I know you and you know me
and you know that I know we could happy
way up in the mountains, in the woods, or farming
even by the deep blue sea
raising kids or just the two of us sittin there
looking in each mind game
dancing, bluegrass floating through the crystal night
could this maybe stay the same?

And I just like holding you and standing in the summer rain
and so still you stand there, just a friend...in the summer rain

And I just like holding you and standing in the summer rain
and so still you stand there, just a friend...in the summer rain
in the summer rain

Morning Hours

Sunshine through my window in those early morning hours
with you lying close and feelin' oh so warm
makes my mind float like a bird that's flyin way above the clouds
and sailing there with not a fear of harm
Peaceful easy feeling flowing out with love from me to you
lovin' every minute that I lie here so close to you

Like a freight train runaway my heart is racing full today
of the needs and wants of love I have for you
the pounding of my heart's desire does get my body to conspire
to move on over and make sweet love to you
such a glow of love a-shining in your eyes from our embrace
satisfaction that I feel reminds me that I've found my place

They call it home...
They call it home...

Sunshine through my window in those early morning hours
with you lying close and feeling oh so warm
makes my mind float like a bird that's flyin' way above the clouds
and sailing there with not a fear of harm
Peaceful easy feeling flowing out with love from me to you
loving every minute that I lie here right next to you

Sunshine though my window in those early morning hours
with you lying close and feeling oh so warm

Nicolet Night

Been working all week long on a job that don't pay nothin'
been a wondering if I'm wasting my time
The boss is always on me, keeps a knockin' down my pride
but I'm still gonna have me a good time

Been waiting for this weekend a few weekends too long
now its here and it don't hardly seem right
well I got rid of the kid, got my lady and a lid
gonna have me a good ole' Nicolet Night

Up there somewhere lies a little place that I call paradise
I'm headin' there with my lady so fine
with Arora Borealis shinin' on into the night
I'm feeling like the whole damn world is mine

I can't believe the fun I've had relaxing with my pretty lady
nor the fact that now we must depart
I promise if you come up here you'll leave just like I do
with a little bit of Nicolet in your heart

With My Heart

(written for his father)

In your eyes I see the sunset glowing
could it be you know just where you're going?
Though there's darkness fading across your eyes
you are headed up to higher skies

You'll never know the legacy you've left behind
or is it right there in your mind?
When I see a little star above
I feel so much closer to your love

To see the light that was right there in your eyes
to hear your laughter and feel your sighs
to see you come to such a gain
helps to ease my lonely pain

In your eyes I saw the sunset glowing
could it be you knew just where you were going?
I thought that from you I would never part
but I know that I will see you with my heart
I'll see you.... with my heart
I'll see you....with my heart
...with my heart
...with my heart

As you can see, Dave has a tender heart, filled with love for his friends, his family and his world. He can be a very serious person. He can be a very silly and humorous person as well...

The Joint Song

(the song that made him famous)

I was sitting in a park on a sunny day
didn't have nowhere to go so I thought I'd stay
and smoke a joint
I saw a friend of mine I had met the other day
I asked him if he would like to come and
share my joint
my joint...
smokin' my joint

I saw a pretty girl walking down the street
I asked her if she would like to sit next to me
and smoke
she sat next to me and I fainted
and I never did know what happened
to my joint
my joint...
smokin' my joint

I saw a little piggy
he was coming at me
and was looking right
at my joint
I said little piggy
would you like a hitty
of my little
columbian joint
he said "no, but I'll take you and all of your friends...
and your little joint
down to the joint"
I'm in the joint...
because of my joint
I'm in the joint

Now I'm busted and I'm sitting here all alone
without a joint
my joint...
because of my joint
I'm in the joint
my joint..........

The Pollution Song

(written as a teenager with Bert Smith)

I was born in a world so clean and free
then the factories made the air all dirty and stinky
its not only the air, but the waters of the sea
they're all dirty and polluted and
skinny dipping just no more will be

Ah, Pollution! It's an intrusion.
I've got the solution...
just kick 'em in the ass or get 'em out of office
they don't never have no real purpose
for messin' up all the pretty things that God put here

It's not only the factories, but the people and their cars
they drive and waste a lot of gas just to get down to the bars
its not only the drinkers, but the smokers of the weed
cigarettes and magazines...
all of which are things we do not need

Ah, Pollution! It's an intrusion.
I've got the solution...
just kick 'em in the ass or get 'em out of office
they don't never have no real purpose
for messin' up all the pretty things that God put here

Well I dare not pick on the little guy but conglomerates as well
they clutter up the country side and
make us wonder if this isn't hell
they got a lot of them new power places
that are standin' all around
do they realize when they build them
one mistake and none of us would be around?

Ah, Pollution! It's an intrusion
I've got the solution
just kick 'em in the ass or get 'em out of office
they don't never have no real purpose
for messing up the pretty things that God put here

They got nuclear this and nuclear that
they may make beer in a nuclear vat
they got nuclear bombs to blow it all up
but STOP! I ask you is that where its at
we should all be free from big industry
and bureaucratic governments as well
if we all got together and worked it all out
I could tell a tale I'd be proud to tell

Ah, Pollution! It's an intrusion
I've got the solution
just kick 'em the ass or get 'em out of office
they don't never have no real purpose
for messin' up all the pretty things that God put here

a note from Bert Smith:

Hi all! Its a pleaseure to have known Dave all these years. I remember writing the above song with Dave - that one and a couple of other silly ones when we were first learning to play the guitar and hanging out up at my Uncle's cabin in the woods. We were hippies then, and still are. We cared about the world and the people around us.

I trust that you all enjoy Dave and his music as much as I have.

Peace,

Bert
