My Friend, My Lover - My Wife
The second song finished in the Autumn Suite. I provided the clean guitars, bass and 12-String acoustic and Dave Rosky provided the Dirty rhythm and the lead. (Remixed 2024)

Story behind the song
I originally started writing this for my wife and fairly quickly thought it would fit well in the Autumn Suite. It's probably not the kind of a song I would have written in my 20's, but I try to not take life's gifts for granted. At this point i get the privilege to write about just about anything I want to. Indeed - What a World! What a Life!
Lyrics
1. Your smile just lights up the whole room
When you said lets stay home & share some Chinese food
We watched a marathon on your tiny TV
In a moment - You became the world to me
Youre the prettiest girl Id ever seen
Being with you has been one long dream
What a world! What a Life!
My Friend, My Lover - My Wife
2. One kiss and I know we could not go back
To our lonely lives & singular existence
You brought purpose back into my life
And a vision of how two can become one
3. Sometimes we have to make some adjustments
You provided me a whole new destination
A place I would never head toward alone
Instead of away, you brought love home
4. The winds of desire, blowing through your hair
The thousand ways that you show you care
Telling all the girls to just back-off
But Lord, its a primal when you growl
