"Who am I to Crow" didn't make it onto the originally pressed CD due to time constraints, but John wanted his fans and supporters to enjoy this powerful unfinished "gem".   Beautiful melody, strong lyrics and excellent guitar work.

Sun Rose Lyrics

there's a train
pulled by faith
and the only thing i need
is to take her place
engines of flesh cogwheels of bone
may my brain use my heart as the
steam and will guide this with soul
in the knick of time
the sun rose and the crow flew from
the river
still alive
so why would i feel
totally inept so completely and
utterly bemused
totally inept so completely and
utterly confused
there's a sky open wide
it's the same all around on the
outside the same thing in here
grandmother flesh
grandfather rain
may the winds bring me wisdom
show me love in the i of this
hurricane
in the knick of time...
live and learn
everyone teaches me about
avalanches and insects and the moon
one day I'll dance and I will sweep
you up beside me and we'll
dance across
the flowers in june
dance amongst
the ghosts and their tombs
dance below
the 'ol grey moon
dance...
