Wish I had a whistle
I wish I had a song
Wish I had a love to make
The Day not feel so long
My hands smell of metal
And traditional beer
I spill it while I spend myself
Looking for things to do around here
We were the sons of decent children
Daughters of the full grown
Now I'm never busy enough
But I never caught a break
At night the worry creeps on me
One never will, and so I pray
To keep my hands in motion
Keep my eyes on the time
And never let the light slip
From this heart of mine
We were the sons of decent children
Daughters of the full grown
Smell a storm a-coming
Feel the ground is hot
Everybody pushing
To get in line for the top
Top of the heap
Top of the pile
But the whole house was burning
And it was the whole damn while
Got to grab a few possessions
Try to find a song
Then suck it up, and find the strength
To let it go and be gone
We were the sons of decent children
Daughters of the full grown

Beyond The Heather

Hither and beyond the heather
You must define your own desire
Is it the coming election
or the need for protection
To build and stoke the fires
That signal a change of heart
Signals a change of heart
Go on to distant heights
Sense memories
But do you recall it right
Is it the need to rewrite
All the lackluster intimacy
That signals a change of heart
Signals a change of heart
Did you ever figure these would be our choices
Did you ever imagine we'd have to search for reasonable voices
Well, I did not
Hither and beyond the heather
Staring out over the lawns
Is it a bird or a plane
With a bright red refrain
That every molecule keep going on and on
And signal a change of heart
Signal a change of heart

The style of music is lyric driven rock, that draws influence from many sources. Some have described it as Tin-Roof-Rain-Water-Bop. In his years of touring the country, Til has had the pleasure to perform with such notable talents as Pete Seeger.... ... more
Til Willis recommends:
Oozing the laidback lush California sound, Windwolves puts you in that warm breeze off the ocean summer night state of mind.
