Four Pieces of Wood

from Scribes by Jessica Webb and Erick Hovey

about

This is Jessica Webb’s song about photography. It was a challenge for me to come up chords to match her melodies but we finally got it. The two sets of drops tied the changes together. Bill Hoft added some string bass, and Dave Hearn some piano, Jeff Foreman kicks the drums in later in the song, and here you have it.

lyrics

Twenty-four hours until the seconds in my mind
A filmstrip of every temptation and echoing faces, never fading in time
Evolution is the secret truth, and constant changing time
Invisible and yet impossible
To begin is to end is to begin, to begin is to end is to begin
You snapped a picture the other day and trapped me behind the glass you say
Holding with death and time and less than four pieces of wood
I fell in love with you, can’t even sing in shades of blue
You drive me crazy, no you didn’t just pick me that daisy
To begin is to end is to begin, to begin is to end is to begin
Is this real or am I dreaming
Dance with me, twirl me across the floor, leaving me wanting nothing but more
Now you’re so far away and pleasures make the life you say and
Drifters live the life, matters all my life
To begin is to end is to begin, to begin is to end is to begin
You snapped a picture the other day, it wasn’t black and white but shades of gray
You held me behind the last four pieces of wood, just in time, just in time, just behind

Erick Hovey and Friends Fort Dodge, Iowa

Erick Hovey's music is peppered with seasonings of blues, roots rock, jazz, funk, old power trio rock, reggae, and newer folk fusion styles. His lyrical content has not only good humored nods towards classic blues and rock clichés’, but spans the afterlife, and existentialism as well. Sometimes it’s spooky, sometimes it’s raw, spiritual, and sensual. Think Mark Knopfler, JJ Cale, and Peter Green. ... more
