This song was never recorded, and that's neither here nor there because even though it
has some decent poetic imagery, there's no chorus.   And I have to have a chorus!

Remember Vermont

Remember Vermont, so pretty this year
I bet you there's ski tracks on every hill
Remember the fires, remember the heat
Remember your burning smiles

Play by night, starry delight
Feel your breath on me burning like "Steam"
But fading fast, no more than a memory
A victim of 3000 miles

I make love to you now, as real as a dream
I wish I could sleep my way back to you
Forget the great distance, forget the mistakes
Forget that they're not my trials

But I remember the fires, remember the heat
Remember the quiet of morning snow
But fading fast, no more than a memory
A victim of 3000 miles

Commentary:

This is my third song about Brenda, the girl I met on New Year's Eve while playing in her home town in Vermont with Steam. She invited me to visit her where she lived on her parents' farm in Vermont on a weekend when they were out of town. We had a torrid affair making love non-stop next to her living room fireplace in the dead of winter, and like I said in my other song about her called Christmas Card, I had to break her heart by leaving her to go on the road with Steam. I think that some of these lyric lines are very romantic and they evoke the exact feelings that I experienced. And my line about feeling her "breath on me burning like Steam" is a hellofa great one considering that I actually did leave her to go on the road with Steam.
