From the recording "Openings"
I wrote this song in the garden across from my house, each morning I'd go there and a little bit more of the song would come to me.

Lyrics
Brookman’s Road
Oh love of my mine
remember the light
the light that shone over Brookman’s Road
the moon was ripe and the birds sang lightly
we could see for miles
a field of starry gold shone in our eyes
and the light grew
between you and me
well darkness came
as natural as day
and soon our love
became a memory
when that shadow fell
our love fell
belly to the ground
oh lord
why’d you make a love so sweet
so short
the light that was shown
will surely show no more
well darlin’
do you think about that rose
that rose that grew
over Brookman’s Road
its petals bled
the feelings of a heartache left unsaid
and the thorns
the wisdom of a flower who was born
of a love that was known
over Brookman’s Road.
