"The Proposal (Naked With You)"

This song transpired in a weekend of Dionysian camping in the Colorado Rockies. My friends (Ryan Gray and Lace DuPont) and lover (Anna Poliakon) made the whole song possible and contributed to the lyrics.

I love it when songs feel like they're bigger than you could have made them: like they're out of control shooting stars,.. fleeting, bright,.. and you gotta pay close attention to catch them and get the best of them out. ... paying attention to running around naked. This one came out pretty darned good:

THE PROPOSAL (NAKED WITH YOU)

I want to run through the woods naked with you
I want to run through the woods like Caribou
I want to run through the woods naked with you
I want to run through the woods playing my flute

Won’t you come along with me
Kindred Spirits wild and free
See I’m down on bended knees
Begging you to marry me

I want to stare at the stars naked with you
I want to share the words that lovers do
I want to stare at the stars naked with you
I want to share the words that lovers do

Won’t you come along with me
Like pirates wild on the open sea
Yeah I’m down on bended knees
Begging you to marry me

I want to swim in the stream - Naked with you
We’ll dry off in the sun, the sky so blue
I want to swim in the stream – Naked with you
We’ll dry off in the sun, like lovers do

Won’t you come along with me
Kindred Spirits smiling free
See I’m down on bended knees
Begging you to marry me
Begging you to marry me
Begging you to marry me
