about

Burr Johnson joined me on bass. Fred Gillen Jr and I produced it.

lyrics

Lazin down the Okeefokee River with my gal
Smell of sweet gardenias in the air
Lookin in your eyes and smilin at you there
On this hazy sunny Sunday afternoon
On this sunny Sunday afternoon in June

Wishin we could spend our days and weeks under the spell
Of this glorious southern summertime swoon
But tomorrow is a workday and it's feelin so unfair
That we only have this Sunday afternoon
And this afternoon is ending all too soon

I wish that we could someday fly away
I wish that I could hold you in my arms
But as you say my honey there's this little thing called money
I must tear myself away from your charms

Lazin down the Okeefokee River with my gal
Sun is setting on our afternoon
Tomorrow is tomorrow, why do we have to part
When we can drift together down this sweet lagoon

I wish that we could someday fly away
I wish that I could hold you in my arms
So why impose this steep privation
Lets go on a vacation
I can't bear to be away from your charms, no
I can't bear to be away from your charms
All I want is to hold you in my arms

Stephen Scholle Hartsdale, New York

Picked up guitar in 1967. Began writing songs in 09 after a breakup. TY to Fred Gillen, Burr Johnson, Peter Calo and the Ashokan music community for supporting my passion. I write from the chord voicings and I write from the voice inside. Some songs channel moments. Sometimes words just sound good. I like to let the song speak and I like to work with others on that. If you'd like, get in touch. ... more
