Mandala

Summer boots 
When they shine 
We laughed 
We cried 
Under open skies 

Naked skin on the asphalt 
We run 
The joy 
We were so young 

Sometimes we don’t understand 
What it was 
Or what it meant 
I’m sure that I was here before 
Different place 
Same yellow door 

Summer boots 
How they shine 
We laughed 
We cried 
Arms open wide 
Light sparkles through the leaves 
Sweet promises 
We believed 

We’re only fifteen 

Sometimes we don’t understand 
What it was 
Or what it meant 
I’m sure that I was here before 
Different times 
Same yellow door 

Sometimes we don’t understand 
What it was 
Or what it meant 
I’m sure that I was here before 
Different place 
Same yellow door 

Summer boots 
When they shine 
We laughed 
We cried 
Under open skies 

Naked skin on the asphalt 
We run 
The joy 
We were so young

Nostalgia

02 Nostalgia

The best way to express my sorrow is through music. This song, “A Tribute to David,” is very important to me. I recorded it in 2011 for my Bowie Variations album and haven’t performed it since. While the whole album was variations on David’s music, this one meant the most to me because I wrote it for him. It’s how I felt about David in musical terms. Though there’s no doubt I have more music for David coming, this is what I have to offer this morning. Please feel free to share this with others and respond with your memories, thoughts and feelings.

Tribute To David

Through The Church Bells And Marches

A Trip On A Lost Train

I sailed away, 
Left everyone on the shore:
The ones that I loved, 
The ones that I loved no more.
I sailed through the waters deep 
All alone under endless skies,
But all I could do was weep 
As the days and the nights passed by.
So I said to my heart: "That's the price 
For the freedom you wanted so. 
You've got what you've asked yet you cry, 
Don't you know, we were made to go?"
