about

Pen Pals 5: Flea Market is a collaboration between Don Campau and several international musicians. It is the last in a series begun in 1988.
These musicians provided backing tracks to which Don added lyrics, vocals and instruments.My thanks to all.

lyrics

calling all my friends, even the misfits
help me out, call me back, find me now
within your heart, the loveliness of that time
it feels like faded moments and it aches like pains forgotten but at the time it seemed like precious pieces and the mist turned into golden rain and the river was like silver
even though i’m filling in the blanks because i’m hazy on the details and would later blame my stroke, i lost track of something special, where did it go?
