MUSIC and the SOUL

I’ve seen the storied eyes

And I’ve sung some lullabies

Please don’t ask me why

I would ever say good-bye

A golden opportunity

To see what life can offer me

Lights, the crowds, my destiny

Pedantic roads to memory

Is there a secret word for me?

A rarely heard ‘hypocrisy’?

I cannot think for the life of me

I’m speaking high, pathetically

Directions that I cannot go

Perspectives that I’ll never know

In my empty hands I’ll show

The seeds of life never sown

All the broken alibis

One to five, the lullabies

Please don’t ask me why

I would ever say good-bye

this is a poignant song for me, because even though i love the family, that irresistable wanderlust is always pulling me away...

i think this was my first attempt at a piano tune where i actually played the piano...doing it live is always a challenge (ahem), esp. when you have someone as masterful as Steve watching you do it...
