Fading Things

Fading things fading after me
 Faded pictures in my mind
 Fragile things break quietly 
 Vultures circling about 

And I’ll ﬂy away with you to a sky all made for you where your eyes get back their youth

Painted wings failing suddenly
 Angels shatter in the dark
 Instincts lead you ﬂee society
 Old desires win your mind

And I’ll runaway with you while the sun delays the moon and your troubles pass you through
And I’ll ﬂy away with you to a sky all made for you where your eyes get back their youth.

LYRICS:
In the cool of the Arizona morning
There are no words to say
The sun lights up
The eastern sky
At the dawn…….
Of a brand new day

The tumbleweed is turning
Looking to put down some roots
Maybe it’s just my calling
To have dust ……
All over my boots 

I don’t see all there is to see
I don’t hear all there is to hear
There’s light and there’s shade and something in-between
And the distance …………drawing near

I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust  …………. all over my boots

The slow and steady beat
Of these hooves upon the ground
Horse and rider as one
And at peace ………
With that sound

I don’t see all there is to see
I don’t hear all there is to hear
There’s light and there’s shade and something in-between
And the distance …………drawing near 

I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust  …………. all over my boots

Dust All Over My Boots

Wake up, Neo!

The matrix has you,
it’s all around you

It owns everything
that you think you are

It feeds on your 
life force

Take the red pill 
then you’ll see

it’s all just a 
machine made dream

Flush the pod and
Flee the bots

You’re no longer a
Copper top

The nutrient slop
Doesn’t taste bad

When you realize
That you’ve been had

The matrix, it
Doesn’t own you
 
You are not its
slave

Once you know
the truth inside you

You are the one!

Who else could it be?
Whoa, I dunno!

You are the one!
Who, me?

Don the shades
and do cart wheels

Dodge the bullets,
They aren’t real

Remember there’s
No spoon at all

Just have faith, 
then you won’t fall

Now you’ve got those 
kung-fu tricks

Triple spin-kick
Agent Smith

And know that 
you will never fall

Cause true love,
it conquers all

It’s time to wake up now!

And know that you’re the one!

Wake up now, wake up!

I know jujitsu?
I know kung fu?
I stop bullets with my hand?
Was that the same cat?
My girlfriend wears leather pants?
I can fly like Superman?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Wake Up, Neo!

Ever thought if you could live without your skin?
And go to a place not far from here?
I can take you there, close your eyes

In the middle of the night you wake
Drop of blood running down your face
The mark on your wrist means you're chosen now

Take a step through the misty grey
Down the path where the spirit waits
Put your feet into the water now

Take me back down to the river
Take me back down where the spirit floats
Separate the ghost

Joined together in the atmosphere
The spirit hand takes away your fear
You let go, the dream takes over now

Take me back down to the river
Take me back down where the spirit floats
Separate the ghost

Spirit realm, is there room for me?
Spirit realm, will you take these chains?
Spirit realm, is there room for me?

Ever thought if you could live without your skin?
And go to a place not far from here?
I can take you there, close your eyes

Greed always defeats reason. I could not imagine a dictatorial country would wage war in the 21 century. What did we learn from WWⅡ? 
Russia’s invasion into Ukraine is not something that just happens to other people. Japan is surrounded by dictatorial countries. Depending on the results of this war , they would think that military strength could change the situation advantageous to them. It's never acceptable.

Piano Impro #3 - Par Les Soirs Bleus D'Eté

My profound thanks to Jeff for this wonderful opportunity to collaborate. It truly was a labour of love, and it was also an Opportunity to take his amazing original song, put a girly spin on it, and create something with a more Cubano Spanish Rock Jazz feel to it, and to stretch my Piano Muscles! Jeff added his amazing Guitar and Bass skills, and a fusion was created! It's cheeky and light, even though the song is about parting ways!  We do hope it makes your toes tap and brings a smile to your souls. 
Thank you Jeff for the wonderful song and words.  It was my pleasure and honour. 
Please see Jeff's Page!  https://soundcloud.com/jeff_roberts?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
He's an immensely talented musician and writer, and it's well worth the trip!

The Goodbye Horizon:

Love has come undone
just an empty motel with a broken welcome sign 
so we're leaving now 
leaving this place where the ghosts of our passions abide

He walks without looking behind
I'm standing here losing my mind

We're leaving now for the goodbye horizon
a borderless freedom at the edge of mind's sight
still sheltering a tiny spark
there in the darkness that lies in the orphan heart

Solo - Piano, Nylon Guitar, and Electric guitar.

We are just tourists in the ruins of these memories
where every wall whispers the failure of our dreams
it always comes down to who owns this burden
better just to say, you and I are hurting today

the names of the streets haven't changed
but you and I will never be the same

We're leaving now for the goodbye horizon
a borderless freedom at the edge of mind's sight
still sheltering a tiny spark
there in the darkness that lies in the orphan heart
... a tiny spark that hides... 
and there in the darkness it lies in the orphaned... heart.
