Late Again
ALBUM LINER NOTES

CASSANDRA LATE,
THE PROPHETS' MEAGER WARES
ARE STREWN ABOUT A WEARY WORLD.
A TIME WHEN DEATH REQUIRES SAINTHOOD UNDESERVED.
WE ARE A WORLD OF MORTAL MEN
AND MAN'S GREAT GREATNESS IS HIS HOPE
-Mary Travers
 

    WE'D BEEN TOGETHER FOR AN HOUR
    IT SEEMED LIKE SEVEN YEARS HAD PASSED
    AND WE HAD BARELY SCRATCHED THE SURFACE OF WHAT IT WAS
    THAT USED TO MATTER
    AND FOR A MOMENT, LIGHT AS AIR,
    WE KNEW WHAT WE WERE HOLDING
    AND SMILED THE WAY WE USED TO WANT TO THEN.
    -Noel Paul Stookey
       cavort in California
      thick scent of no season's change
      New York:
      grinding rock
      taut snap of purpose
      no one whispers here
      no excuses
      Concert:
      a drop of water does not exist before or after
      (perhaps collect them in a leaden pail-mossy green)
      Where does it lead?
      it will pass
      -Peter Yarrow
