LYRIC

The differences that seemed so great
That made me think I had to wait
To find a place where I belong
I thought were real - but I was wrong

The differences to which we cling
Convinced that they mean everything
They occupy a lonely heart
That wants to join but stands apart

The differences that you perceive
Are only something you believe
But at the end of life’s long day
The differences all fall away

A mirror saw me peering in
Wondering who that might have been
An anxious child with a lonely heart
That wants to share but how to start?

The difference is as years flew by
I finally stopped my asking why
And let the world just simply be
And the difference it made to me
Set me free

The differences that seemed so great
That made me think I had to wait
Yes, they’re still here and yet somehow
They don’t seem important now

NOTICE: I DO NOT PAY FOR PROMOTION. EVER.

SPOTLIGHT:  Here in 2025 I have slowed with so-called "final studio versions" and am sharing demos of new songs. Check otu the "@2025v DEMOS" playlist! With "Trap Doors" Sexagenarian Vol VI now has nine of its planned 12 tracks. Check out the other five (5!) volumes of Sexagenarian as well. Then there's "Darq Bleu/Change Hue," my first collaboration with anyone other than my brother. I took about half of the Crawling Vines (Jack Holston) song "Darq Bleu" and added a chorus. Came out pretty well! 

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
