    Cheval de Guerre was from 1989- 1993 with several members. We went everywhere. Places like SanFrancisco and Ljubljana. I was always in the band and I wrote stuff.
    This performance we actually played as "Valdys Unborn Children" which is a purely canadian "joke" and we went to Bergen, Norway and played at HULEN, I did a solo at Manefisken(we couldn't afford the train fares) in Oslo, and then we played York. Reg was always in the band, and unlike many incarnations of Cheval de Guerre, i loved these guys. We had one fan for sure, Troy Tate. Thanks for coming out, Troy.

about

I wrote this when I was 15

lyrics

Come morning I'll be glad for what I've done
I am the painter and the picture - we are one
like rain that falls of sea-washed sand this day is never done
come, the day.
For too long have I suffered in the tombs of luxury
where the body is as worthless and the soul can go to sleep
I go now to the real world where the moon takes care of me
Grandmother!

I leave behind the factories I leave you with your farms
I leave behind the prison with its hundred grasping arm
I leave behind the public school to domesticate and maim
and I leave you with your money it's like a ball and
chain.

I'm goin out to the real world where the moon takes care of me
surrounded by my brother and sisters the trees
they shelter and protect and they do not lie...

I dreamt that in a city they forgot to cut the trees
they forgot to mow the grass down, they forgot to kill the weeds
and in one year of seasons that city was overgrown
and in two years of seasons
that city was all gone.

My love has eyes like planets and a face just like the sun
a voice as sweet as blackbirds when the new spring has come
and the love that goes between us is not always human
not...
always

so come along now pretty morning make me glad for what I've done
I am the hunter and the hunted we are one
Like the eye that sees and the eye that is blind
this day is never done.
Come, sweet night.
