This original ode to the desert night highway brings two lovers together in the splendor of the stars. The silent expanse inspires their moment of passion.

Lyrics:  Whispers and Wishes  (a.k.a "Was I Insane")

Black desert night... 
Dotted lines flashing white
Straight is the road 
The mountains like ghosts
And you're ever by my side…

The highway just wails
The stars form a veil
That shimmers and calls
‘till we give it pause 
And break a silent sky

Chorus:  
Your hands in mine..
Hearts that entwine..
Soft moans and kisses..
Whispers and Wishes.
That shatters the deep… 
That shatters the deep of the night.

(instrumental solo)

Chorus:  
Your hands in mine..
Hearts that entwine..
Soft moans and kisses..
Whispers and Wishes.
That shatters the deep… 
That shatters the deep of the night.
That Shatters the deep of the night..

Whispers and Wishes

This is for a wonderful human being that was taken way too soon by a drunk driver. Candy was a school bus driver who loved living.  And she was a great friend.
lyrics;

Past the boats of the harbor 
you can see the sound 
And gaze in the wonder 
at what you've found
Here she once lived 
and where she will stay
Her voice heard in echoes 
in the hills by the bay. 
Drove  the bus to school
Her smile lead the way
Now the bus is empty
There is no school today
Across the Narrows bridge 
To the Gig Harbor town
She loved living life 
In this paradise found
If you listen close
You can hear her say 
I'm right here in heaven
In the hills by the bay.

Shattered Walk

Go Beyond

Struggling to extricate yourself from some awful mess of life and circumstance (relationship?)Free? Feels like it, sometimes, until freedom starts to feel an awful lot like falling down. Still, whatever we choose, the choice to be free, to soar, to coast, or to fall down, is in your hands.

* I always loved Tom Petty and his Free Fallin'. Maybe that was in the back swirling around.?

                                                Free, Falling Down

I’m free… falling down…I’m free…falling down
Never felt this good to be living my life…
Never felt this way,  good to be giving it up…
Left it all behind, I’m going on my own…
I’m spreading my wings

As autumn falls and the leaves do curl
Throw this drowning man… a heavy stone…
A heavy stone
Ah summoning the North winds, a hard brick in soft felt
The world has lungs…that are fit to burst
The world is a mighty fist…in your hands
The world is a fragile fist …in your hands…in your hands!

In your hands… Whoa! 
(Im free…falling down)
It’s in your hands … Whoa!
Never felt this good to be living my life…
Never felt this way, good to be giving this up…
Left it all behind, I’m going on my own…
I’m spreading my wings.

Well who made the world mad?
Was it us? That twisted the five fingers of continents?
Fingers of continents
Hold the world for what it’s worth, 
Don’t let your spoon stir the pot…in reverse

In your hands…In your hands   (I’m free)
It’s in your hands…
