does anyone agree that some of the finest lines Gord has ever written are in the poem that comes with the Summertime Dream album? When I first bought that album (back in the days of vinyl) I tore off the shrink wrap, and as is my habit, read all there was to read on it before I actually listened to the music. I read the poem and was blown away. That poem, in and of itself, was worth the price of the album for me.
"Summertime dreams, beacons to my soul;
The channel you have marked out for me
runs deep and wide but one never knows
just how the ship will roll
nor which way the wind blows..."
