Inspiration is a funny thing — months ago, I felt inclined to write about the mystery woman of my dreams and even though Clover came to be, Old Man Muse must not have been finished with me. No, not quite.
After digging a little deeper, I’ve officially written a new song in the same vein as Clover called That I’ll Know You… and today’s live recording can be heard below. Simply put, it’s a love song for the woman that I thought might never show. Thought. Enjoy the new song.
That I’ll Know You…

I’ve gotten good at being alone,
Through the Valentines and the Mistletoe,
Though I’ve tried to find my heart’s Muse-
Oh, that I’ll know you when I see you.
It’s not that I have never loved,
It’s that my timing has been a victim of
The Winds of Change-
My, how they blew.
Oh, that I’ll know you when I see you.
So, shine sun, shine
And burn brighter than the others
So that I might see your brand of beam
And want another and another.
I cannot call your name
Cause I don’t know who I’m calling to-
Oh, that I’ll know you when I see you.
I’ve pictured it one thousand times;
My hands have run the length of your spine,
Down to your thighs,
To your glass shoe.
Oh, that I’ll know you when I see you.
So, to my Love I haven’t met,
Where for art thou Juliet?
You see, I switched the lines
But the play reads true:
Oh, that I’ll know you when I see you.
So, shine sun, shine
And burn brighter than the others
So that I might see your brand of beam
And want another and another.
I cannot call your name
Cause I don’t know who I’m calling to-
Oh, that I’ll know you when I see you.
