about

I wrote Three O'Clock Ride way back in 1968, when I was, in my Dad's words, a "college drop-in", hanging around the Yellow Door coffee house, a vibrant fixture in the heart of Montreal's McGill University student ghetto. I think I probably performed this song at every "'hoot night' there in those days and it remains etched in my brain as my Yellow Door song.

Here's a 21st century version of my Three O'Clock Ride, dedicated to all who have ventured down those stairs to listen and to all the incredible performers who have graced the Yellow Door stage over the years. These are all friends we share, not to be forgotten...

lyrics

The three o’clock ride to town brought the morning
Northern Electric sign and the sky
Holding on to shades of arms and the little time we have to care
We ride the rambling, rolling highway van

And the friends we share
Are not to be forgotten
Not to be forgotten
They know their minds
They see the lives they wear
They may not know my fortune
Nor my stumbling roadways there
But they’re warm inside your life
As they should be

We spoke of rhyme and words that have a meaning
Drifting sea and those who find their way
The light was soft and warmed the strings that rang the satin-like air
Music plays my sighing, crying fears away

And the friends we share
Are not to be forgotten
Not to be forgotten
They know their minds
They see the lives they wear
They may not know my fortune
Nor my stumbling roadways there
But they’re warm inside your life
As they should be

And sleep crept through the curtains but was smiling
The silent road to home calling me
Holding on to shades of arms and the little time we have to care
We ride the rambling, rolling highway van

And the friends we share
Are not to be forgotten
Not to be forgotten
They know their minds
They see the lives they wear
They may not know my fortune
Nor my stumbling roadways there
But they’re warm inside your life
And it’s warm inside your life
And warm inside your life
I’d like to be
