Lyrics for “The Showdown”

As I have said before, in the beginning I think Jon meant the showdown to be between two lovers. But it ended up as a gunfight at the OK Corral! We had the synthesizer do the wind at the end to conjure images of the wild west desert plains. Then the wind chimes were added to lighten the mood for the segue into “Sunny Day” which then segues into “Sing Me Your Love Songs”… sort of.
