Lyrics

I’m looking for a time tree
Growing moments ‘stead of green
I’d put ‘em in my pocket now
Save the seconds that I found
I’m searching for more time you see
You never know how much it means
Til what’s lost just can’t be found
Can’t have fun ‘til it abounds
So I’m looking for a time tree

(Chorus)
Tick tock
Ringing in my ears
Tick tock
Echoing my fears
Tick tock
Hear that ghostly clock?
Can’t stop 
Looking for that time tree

There’s a forest by the sea
Can I find my fabled tree?
Can’t pause to see the beauty now
I’d drop more moments on the ground
I’m searching for more time you see
I have to find that treasure tree
Nevermind the hours spent
I’ll pay back the season lent
When I find my time tree

(Chorus)

I never found my time tree
I searched for a century
Should have stopped to feel the breeze
In that instant by the sea
Wasted time, I do believe
Looking for a time tree

Time Tree

Imagine white sand, palm trees, blue sea and a warm breeze ;-). Warm song with electronic wah synth chords and tenor sax solos.

Sweet dreams, collected relaxing music

Lost Girl [Thought I'd Lost You Forever]

[Verse]
Lost girl in the moonlight, call my name
Thought I'd lost you forever, no more games
Fading in the shadows, feel your trace
But I'm holding on, still sense your space
Through the echoes, I hear our song play
In the dark, love's fire keeps my heart swayed

[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes
I feel you whisper in these skies
Holding on to what we've known
Love like a river, can't let go

[Verse]
Our paths diverged in the misty haze
Yet your memory lingers, through the maze
In the midnight silence, hear your sigh
But I'm reaching out, beyond the night
In the quiet, our story unfolds
Through the tears, our bond ever bold

[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes
I feel you whisper in these skies
Holding on to what we've known
Love like a river, can't let go

[Bridge]
Though the pain cuts deep and wide
Our love's an endless, rhythmic tide
In the fractures, the light seeps through
Brutal love, yet beautifully true

[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes
I feel you whisper in these skies
Holding on to what we've known
Love like a river, can't let go

Lost Girl [Thought I'd Lost You Forever]

A diminutive woman in her 7th decade, Laurie is a dynamo of personality and energy living an outsized life as she still works, loves to travel, and when home, playing in our church band as a guitarist and sharing music as a multi-instrumentalist.  She is also a personal hero in how she powered through chemo, invasive surgery, then radiation to arrest the progress of a rare cancer.  She would tell you it was by the Grace of God, but I would quickly add He worked in concert with her faith and "joie de vivre" of which she has an abundance.  Not knowing what to give her for her birthday and Christmas (a month apart), I gave her a song with her band nickname as the title.  For you, "Laurie Lou" my dear friend, guitar sister, and bandmate:)

Laurie Lou

A twist on the 'Appearance Medicine' phrase.

APPEARANCE MEDICINE

Tripping round some corridors
Nothing but neon lights
Floor polish and hidden voices
There you are before my eyes
It’s appearance medicine
Like a hormone injects in a vein
It’s appearance medicine
A face that lights a flame
S O B and tachy heart when lightning seeds a body start
That jumps a gate to permeate my actual need 
For you with me - today

This hospital’s a restaurant
Medicine is the menu
God’s own surgeon shaped the face
That walks me to the moon
It’s appearance medicine . . .

Ah-huh Ah Huh da da da da da da da da
It’s appearance medicine
It’s appearance medicine

Everyday it’s much the same
Going on that ward round
Floor polish and hidden voices
Soon my heart it’s on the pound





Appearance Medicine

Piano Day is celebrated every year on the 88th day as a piano has 88 keys. So this year is not a leap year so it falls on March 29 (2025). Like almost all of my other solo piano songs, this is a sit down and make it up on the spot song. Improv. I wish I had the patience and the attention span to write a song over a 6 month period. I wouldn't even know where to start to be honest with you. But thank you for listening and have a happy Piano Day 2025!!

The Nasty Fruits

In Circles

Hey…. Thanks for dropping by. April 21st, fresh snow on the ground that hopefully will melt off by the end of the day. Yesterday, I was out transplanting some small Lupine and Columbine plants from out of the lawn. They grew there from seed that spilt from nearby flowerbeds. I put them into a rock garden I recently refurbished. I pulled all the rocks out, dug down to get all the invasive grass roots out, and rebuilt it with a few extra rocks. After that chore, I dug up several Spruce seedlings from the Spruce trees I planted here decades ago. Those little saplings grew up under a lilac bush, so I moved them out into open areas in the backyard. They probably won’t get to be 3 feet tall by the time I pass from this mortal coil, as I am old, but I plant them anyway b/c they’ll most likely still be here when I am gone. Ha. I have been transplanting a lot of volunteer flower plants into my neighbor’s yard, from my vegetable garden in preparation for Spring planting. They find their way into the garden, by wind, bird or however, and I just let them grow, but soon there’s more flowers than vegetables, so I find them new homes. Lastly, I replaced the wonky wheel and axle assembly on my old wheelbarrow, held together by hose clamps, during a snowy day last week, with a wheel from a wheelbarrow I recently got from a pile of free stuff (junk) out on the road, that a neighbor was tossing out. The barrow was cracked, but the wheel/axle were fine. Now I am ready to roll. That is how Spring is here in the mountains…. So several years back, there was quite a large pack of dogs that would freely run around our rural neighborhood. They lived here and loved being able to roam. When I first saw them on my way to the mailbox, they did not know me, and several dogs growled at me. (Rightly so.) Ha. It was a standoff moment for sure. So I just laughed at them. They were not anticipating that. So from then on, we’d have some fun whenever I saw them. Most of those dogs have died over the years. It was sad to see them go. So I included them in this song. I hope you like it. Mark

Brook Lamorna and the Cedar Rose

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
