Package is a full-color, 4-panel wallet containing a vinyl look/feel CD and a 12-page booklet with full lyrics and artwork.
Songwriter's note to the hard-core audiophiles (truth in advertising): This is a high-quality CD-R, burned from a digital master in a professional manufacturing facility. It is NOT a replicated disk. I had to choose between replication and the vinyl look/feel I wanted for the CD. For me, the visual aesthetic was more important, given that most people are streaming these days anyway. The audio quality of the CD-R is the same as a pressed disk.

I tiptoe down the hallway, pussyfoot down the stairs
I creep across the backyard hoping no one's there to see me
On my way to take my sliver of joy
On my way to take my sliver of joy
My sliver of joy
The Commander's home is a nightmare, the Commander's wife is a shrew
But the end of the day holds a sweetness if I can make it up your room to see you
You, my sliver of joy
You, my sliver of joy
You're my sliver of joy
And I don't know if it's true love, or just a way to pass the the time
But here I am risking everything for a few hours of sublime and beautiful you
You, you my sliver of joy
You, my sliver of joy
You're my sliver of joy
And I don't know if it's true love, or just some kind of escape
But if they ever took you away, my heart would surely break to lose you
You, my sliver of joy
You, my sliver of joy
I found out yesterday, the man of mine that they took away
Is still alive, and he's working from the other side to find me
And if I ever see him again I will belong to him
But here and now, despite my vow it's you
'Cause you are my only sliver of joy
You are my only sliver of joy
So I tiptoe down the hallway, pussyfoot down the stairs
I creep across the backyard hoping no one's there to see me
On my way to take my sliver of joy
On my way to take my sliver of joy
'Cause you are my only sliver of joy
You're my sliver of joy.

Karen Jonas' first album is a great collection of songs that tell intriguing stories. I can say I knew her back when; she played at a songwriter showcase I used to run and I got hooked on her voice. Haze & Dacey
