DESCRIPTION:
The studio recording of Big Old Bear is available on Itunes
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/big-old-bear-single/id997534503

This was the first song I wrote on the cigar box, and so I named the guitar "Big Old Bear". I recorded the song in 2012, about three years prior to this performance, with the valuable help of producer Wayne Ringrow and the engineering skills of Simon Kither.
This performance is part of the "Live @ Heliport" session. Recorded by Elliot Heinrich and filmed by Byron Silich at Heliport Studios on the Sunshine Coast.

Lucy worked in a flower store
sweeping floors for Mrs Mary Go
racing home at the drop of a hat to her man
Andy baby I'm coming just as fast as I can

Andy quit his job at the paper jam
that place is insane, they don't need a hippie like me, there
baby I just wanna grow my peaches and pumpkins in the shade
and wake up to your sweet smile every single day

Lucy had her hair down that day
old Andy just kinda liked it that way
no way of knowing what you got 'til the clock says it's gone

one day your gonna feed the trees with your skin and your bones
all your changes will take you there
and so if your singing and dancing through it all
that big old bear wont seem so tuff after all
not so tuff after all

Lucy had her hair down that day
old Andy just kinda liked it that way
no way of knowing what you got 'til the clock says its gone

one day I'm gonna die with you in my arms
I'm gonna die with you
I'm gonna die with you in my arms
