Dedicated to Faith & Phil Sealy on the day of their "Bon Voyage" party - thank you for sharing your lives and love with so many of us. 

Song note: This is a revised version of an earlier 2022 song, BYO. The third verse in this version was re-written to specifically pay homage to the lives of a lovely couple who really, truly lived. I was invited to play for family and friends gathered today following their joint funeral service.

--
come now to the water's edge
be baptized in the flowing waters here
no matter your piety or your sin
take a leap of faith here at the water's edge

you'll never be alone
i'm here no matter where we go

there's a place for you right next to me
at the water's edge
there's a place for you right next to me
at the water's edge

come now to the fire's side
be bathed in its warmth this holy night
the moon and stars share their light
as we gather here at the fire's side

you'll never be alone
i'm here no matter where we go

there's a place for you right next to me
at the fire's side
there's a place for you right next to me
at the fire's side

oh oh oh
oh oh oh

take my hand now, my love
a new adventure beckons us to come
no matter where this path will lead
after all these years, it's still just you and me

you'll never be alone
i'm here no matter where we go

No Matter Where We Go

Song A Week 2022 - Week 22

*Recorded in one take, free-flow style. I'd said to my 12yo while we were driving home tonight that it looked like we were chasing the last sunlight and that the nighttime sky was chasing us home. We agreed those sounded like mighty fine lyrics, so I tossed them into this lullaby-type thing.*

--

we are 
driving to the
last sunlight
of the day

the nighttime sky
chases us home
all the way tucking
you into your bed

and i 
i see your eyes
lighting up like the stars
that are peeking out their faces

full of life
and laughter
calling me strange 
yet full of love

oh, my child
if you could see you like i do
you would see the magic, too

oh, my child
if you knew how i love you
if you knew

now
the quiet is come
the day is done
and it's time to say goodnight

i'll see you in the morning light
if we should be given the right
this gift we have that 
we call life

and oh, my child
if you knew
what i know about you

you'd know 
you're loved
more than you ever knew

sleep tight now, my love
sleep and dream
i hope i'll see you in the morning's sunlight
come what may, come what might

Come What May, Come What Might

Song A Week - Week 33

Shout-out to my fellow Song A Week crew for the use of the 2023 prompts from weeks 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 32, 33 (read: most of the summer prompts June-August)

Lyrics: 

do you remember tuesday night
when you looked at me in the fading light
i was there waiting for a lyft
yet something in your eyes said this was it

we heard that train running through
them red mountain trains remind me of you
strong & steady like the roots beneath the tree
a safe haven for everyone, even me

seems i only see you at funerals & weddings
and one of these days, yeah, i'm betting
we'll find our way right back at the start
nothin' could keep us apart

'cuz i've been coast to coast and back again
east to west, north to south, and then
no matter if it takes days, weeks, or years
one thing true, dear, 

i'm coming home to you
coming home to you
coming home to you
coming home to you

you said a man's gotta keep his secrets close & tight
as you turned on your heel & took your flight
but i know you better and i know your tell
you've fallen back in love and scared as hell

well darlin' i've been coast to coast and back again
east to west, north to south, and then
no matter if it takes days, weeks, or years
one thing true, dear, 

i'm coming home to you
coming home to you
coming home to you
coming home to you

coming home to you
coming home to you

One Thing True

Peep the original "Fireflies" by Nik Newark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60O4dMhcR-Y

somewhere there's a happy sound
people singing songs as they gather 'round
the bonfire as evening dies
like the summertime in twilight 
and fireflies

one day we'll be left behind
like a battle scar on the borderline
not so far away lights up the sky
with the moon and stars in the twilight
fire flies

one day we'll leave this behind
all our history in the sands of time
one day we'll be living in peace
and leave behind days like these
where fire flies

one day we'll leave this behind
and ignore the scars on the hands of time
let the highway light up the sky
with moon and stars in the twilight
and fireflies

*a feeble attempt at a Christmasy song that's not overtly Christmasy... not sure that I quite managed it at all, though still fun to write in DADGAD again!*

come down from the mountainside
come down from the heavens high
come down to the valley deep & wide
come down from the perch in the sky

come out from the hole you're in
come out from the waters, waves, and
come out from the burrow in the ground
come out from behind the shade & veil

let all creation cry out 
raise a resounding shout

rejoice! redemption's here
rejoice! have no fear
Your kingdom come
Your will be done

rejoice! high and low
rejoice! far & wide
rejoice! again we say, rejoice!

rejoice! rejoice! rejoice!
rejoice! high & low
rejoice! far & wide
rejoice! again we say, rejoice!

let creation cry out
raise our resounding shout

Come Down, Come Out (Rejoice!)

*song note: I don't really do resolutions, and I'm not picking them up via this song. Rather, it's a way of processing a lot of things from 2023 while also taking both literal & metaphorical breaths before plunging face-first into 2024. Guessing I'm not alone in that sense.*

here we stand at the end of the line
once again
as the clock ticks forward
its time

to let go of the end
of the old time
and welcome 
the new one in

we are called to stay the course
to somehow hold in the balance
everything all at once
and nothing at all

it's all so confusing
yet still straightforward and simple, really
are we just overthinking
am i just overthinking tonight

tonight

do we sing auld lang syne or do we 
sing our laments, sing our painful cry
do we sing the two, together
interwoven, intertwined

because grief and love
grief and love 
joy and pain
co-exist at the same time

at the same time

as we look back and reflect
as i look back and reflect
on the roof
on the strength, courage, & wisdom 

it came at 
far too high a cost
but i still give thanks
for i still have

i still have breath left in my lungs
and i still have my voice
and i still can carry on 
for you and your boys

and i will keep going
ever reaching
ever getting closer still
to justice on the

just beyond the hill
yeah
just beyond 
that hill

Written & recorded at Camp Beckwith in Fairhope, Alabama

-for the Younglings: I love y'all infinity-

another early morning flight
get up before the sunrise
driving through the rain, snow, and fog
everything's clouding over

five states, countless cities 
before i'm by the bay
four hearts left behind
and one that will stay mine

i know that i'll be coming home
in time
even though it seems wild
it's gonna be alright

my loves, oh my loves
my loves, my loves

take me down to the places that i've never been before
and have some new adventures
even though i'm going and coming more than i used to
i'll still be returning home to you

my loves, my loves
my loves, oh my loves

and when you see the stars, you can wish, you can will
and i know that i will be coming home still
promise i will do whatever it takes
see you when morning breaks

my loves, my loves
my loves, oh my loves

My Loves

there is an ache
inside these bones
like i'm searching for something
God only knows

i am told
time will tell
it's just as well to wait
another night

as i fall asleep 
in this dream world
pistols and petals 
around me fall

all of a sudden
i'm awake
covered in sweat and tears
the ache is back again

and never in a million years
did i think i'd fall
so low
but i never thought i'd
spend so long
solo

la da di dah
la da di dah dah
la da di dah, da da
di dium

one day i may
find someone new
ease this ache
let hope shine through

Let Hope Shine Through

thoughts crystallize like ice on my window
as the rain freezes down
caught in the liminal between seasons the minimal change just around the bend

i live in the starlight i was born to fill
wondering where i'll land and i find
myself calling out through the waves
can anyone hear this now

yeah
hear this now

space and time, it seems
never linear leans like a branch on the wire
in over my head, yet i can tread and
pass the time with you instead

as we wait for the starlight to fade from the sky
seas of color roar to life before our eyes
and ears hear the calling of the waves
we can hear this now

yeah
we can hear this now

i've never liked goodbyes even in the lullabies
my father would sing me fast to sleep
deep greens and blues me now remind me of you
James Taylor, sweet baby croons

our eyes share the starlight from the brazen sky
bold, the way my heart can admire
can you feel it pulsing, keeping beat with your own 
please, oh please, hear it now...

hear it now...

Hear the Starlight

lay me down on a bed of roses
by the highway
somewhere near the passersby 
each day

whether it’s sunshine
whether it’s rain
it doesn’t make a difference just the same
lay me down along the way

-ooohs for dayyys-
along the way

lay me down by the ocean
in its changing tides
where i can hear the waves crashing
and the gulls cry

somewhere peaceful
somewhere mild
oh lay me down by the ocean
the sea and its tides 

-ooohs for dayyys-
the tides

and i hope you know
that i’m coming
and i hope you know
i’m coming home to 
glory & kingdom come

-interlude-

put me in the fire
put me in the flames
put me anywhere
i’ll burn just the same

take me to a 
shallow grave
put me in at the 
end of the day

oooh
oooh lay me down
to my grave

i wish that i could fly away
to some ol' forgotten place
somewhere where i can't love you 
at all

remove temptation from all my dreams
take it all away from me
need to reset so i can't hyperfocus on
what i can't have

it seem weird, it might seem rash,
it might seem impulsive to you oh i do 
believe that i know myself well enough 
to know when it's time to go

all these years 
through the pain and tears
i know what's worth my time
this just ain't it anymore

so i bid you farewell
one last time
bid you farewell 
one last time

and i bid you farewell
one last time
bid you farewell
one last time

i'm leaving tonight on
the next plane somewhere old
you can't find me there
or anywhere

You Can't Find Me There or Anywhere

i've known your face 
for years now
know every smile 
and every frown
yet when your eyes 
were filled with anger
found a bridge 
we hadn't burned

sat beneath a cold 
night sky
filled with stars 
and satellites
you said we'd lost our way 
went off the path
had to find a way 
back

would you try
would i try
to come home
to come home

some say love is 
meek and mild
while others say it's 
free and wild
i say our love is 
strong and true
stands the test of time 
with you

because you tried
because i tried
because we tried 
to come home

-interlude-

we learn to bend 
but never break
all the time that 
courages wakes
we didn't go 
we chose to stay
that's what true love takes
that's what true love takes

flight's landing
breakers all around
sitting in B12
waiting to delve
into the greatest sin

she told him to
"pass me over"
somewhere under the rainbow
"mark my words"
he called his warning shot
next one, duck and cover

"will you come and meet me in the middle?"
he said
"lay it all on the wire"
"not in a million years, get out this dream world"
she said
"can't tear me apart"

all-nighter
both such damn fools
so much for pillow talk
"takes one to know one"
so the adage goes
will this madness ever end

"will you come and meet me in the middle?"
he said
"lay it all on the wire"
"not in a million years, get out this dream world"

"can't tear me apart"

do you remember
when we were children
down on Pomona Drive
we'd watch the fireflies
come alive

all through the streets
within the city
we danced through the night
only coming home
when our mamas cried

cried
in the pale moonlight

can you recall 
when we would dream
of a better life
filled with hope, laughter,
and delight

delight
that's my dream tonight

when i wake to the baby's cry
no seeming end in sight
i go back to the place
where everything's alright
down on Pomona Drive
on Pomona Drive

it seems so long now
so far ago
dreaming through the day
wish i could run free
chaotic castaway

the money's tight here
feels like drowning
in my fear
but i'm still dreaming
to save me from tears

tears
always feel 'em near

'cuz when i wake to the baby's cry
no seeming end in sight
i go back to the place
where everything's alright

and when i wake to the baby's cry
no seeming end in sight
i go back to the place
where everything's alright

down on Pomona Drive
Pomona Drive
down on Pomona Drive
Pomona Drive

do you remember
when we were children

coming on 2:00am
said nothing good happens then
don't give a damn
sleeping alone again

heart's been broken
tale as old as time
ripped open, torn apart
pieces scattered, no winning

what comes next as the 
storm clouds thunder
lighting rolls in 
wind pulls down under
hold on tight
for dear life
make it through
one more night

debris all around
don't know what to do
wreckage still burning
the storm ain't through

once was a time
do anything
promises broken
dreams turned to ash

what comes next as the 
storm clouds thunder
lighting rolls in 
wind pulls down under
hold on tight
for dear life
make it through

what comes next as the 
storm clouds thunder
lighting rolls in 
wind pulls down under
hold on tight

it's growing late again
this candle's burning down
to the last hold
i can't see where we're going next

i was told to hold on to hope
don't know if it's real or just some
played out trope
that i don't follow
like a fool

and still i'll try again
because i've got nothing 
left to lose or hide
time to open up from inside

open up from inside
from in...side

open wide
open wide
open wide the doors
to what's inside

at the end of the this road
at the end of the day 
aching and pulsing
heart racing and pumping
facing my fears, all my foes
one by one

though every turn tries to break me
every fight knock me down
i may be slowed, but i'll go farther
than you could ever see 'cause

i've got one left in me
at least one more left in me
one more push, one more try
one more chance to breathe
and make it alive
i got one more left in me

at the end of the line
at the end of time
wishing and wanting 
hoping this haunting nightmare
hellscape will  bit by bit

though every turn tries to break me
every fight knock me down
i may be slowed, but i'll go farther
than you could ever see 'cause

i've got one left in me
at least one more left in me
one more push, one more try
one more chance to breathe
and make it alive
i got one more left in me

got one left in me

like paint on a wall
the perfect design
ember and ash
intertwined

you've heard it before
promises broken
small as an apple 
big as a mountain

but it doesn't matter
ain't worth the cost
lost a friend
your whole house

too hard to love
that's what they say
these demons inside
you're trying to hide

don't quit now...

hold fast and strong
those voices, love,
they're all wrong
all the lies you've been sold
will be breaking down in time
you are not alone
you are not alone

the cracks are breaking
within your heart
thought you could fight
but it's just so hard

when everything's burning
all that you'd made
the dreams are crumbling
and fading away

don't quit now...

hold fast and strong
those voices, love,
they're all wrong
all the lies you've been sold
will be breaking down in time
you are not alone
you are not alone
you are not alone

come to the garden
find the lights inside
hear the music swelling
all around tonight

leave your inhibitions
locked away outside
into the premonitions
see how they tantalize

you can wonder if it's
real or not
just give it a whirl 
what have you got
to lose in the garden tonight
tonight

tell the stories
of past loves long ago
they'll leave you wondering
if anyone has hope

they will make you feel
like you are falling down
but they will help you up
once again

you will sway and
you will dance
you will fall under their 
trance, so powerful and enticing
oh, it feels so inviting

everyone will be swept away
in this cacophony
and everyone won't even know
it's been coming all along

come to the garden
make your bed
a blanket of roses
and daisies for your head

Come to the Garden

driving home, eastward bound
in the morning
blinded by the sunrise

i'm travel-worn
feel it in my bones, yet my spirit
feels adventure close at hand

oooh
oh woah

before take off, i took a 
leap of faith
that somehow landed me with you

too early to tell if you'll
be my heaven or hell
or should i cut my losses now

oooh
oh woah
oooh
oh woah

standing on the edge of 
what is yet to come
letting go of all that is to pass

please forgive my hesitations 
as i step on the ledge
i'm terrified to fly again

oooh
oh woah
oooh 
oh woah
oooh 
oh woah

all the uncertainties and
enigmatic allurings
have kept me up through the night

now i lay me down to sleep
and pray that you will keep me

sitting here by the fireside
on a random tuesday night
never thought we'd be here
after merely a humble fortnight

we were swapping stories 
as we planned our dreams
not sure how we got this far
yet it's going well, or so it seems

i don't know what to say or do
guess we can ride it out a while or two
whatever comes of this, 
i'll tell ya the truth
wherever the road is headed
i'm glad to be going it with you

the night was hanging real low
singing digging deep
an insect autumn symphony
in their encore just for you and me

i don't know what to say or do
guess we can ride it out a while or two
whatever comes of this, 
i'll tell ya the truth
wherever the road is headed
i'm glad to be going it with you

whatever comes of this,

mourning skies
grey as the day is long
longing for a light
trying to find a way home
trying to find a way
home

my next memory
is halfway out the door
i thought you knew
this was the way home
this was the way 
home

then you turn to me
that damn look on your face
what are we to do
are we gonna find our way home
are we gonna find our way
home

should we call it a day
when it's anything but...
got nothing left to say
guess we lost the way home
guess we lost the way
home

Song Note - May have missed a few lyrics - apparently I don't enunciate well (& struggle to focus) when knackered. Whoops!

--

started out before the sun
the moon, 
he wakes for me
heading north, 
so far from home
but it's where i'm meant to be

traveling through a sea of forests
in their autumn-colored chorus
the birch's starting to
lay herself bare
it's almost like everything, 
i can see you there

i'm not sure which road we have
found ourselves on
is it one that'll keep going or one
that will dead end on us
are we gonna be okay 
will we find out way back to 
the place we call home

it's hard when our pain is stripped down 
and grief laid bare
exposed like a raw nerve 
in this open air
cause the hurt that we don't intend
but do we know how the impact will land
do we know how the impact will land

i don't know which road we found ourselves on 
we'll just keep going or will it dead end on us
coming in at the final point to turn around
and get back to a place we can call
home

can we ever get back home?
can we get back home?

Can We Get Back Home

*Who doesn't write a song about a high maintenance cat filled with puns while trying to avoid 24/7 election news cycles?*

My cat knows I’m the second smartest 
Person in the room
She eats all my tuna sushi 
'Cause fish is brain food

We all know who’s in charge here
She treats me like her servant
Got a fur-midable cat-ittude
Yeah ya’ know she’s full of it

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooowwwwww
What a purrrrrr-sonality
She hunts all night, sleeps in sunlight
She knows she’s a pretty good kitty (pretty kitty)

Don’t fur-get she’s the Great Catsby
Never tells me where she’s been 
She leaves surprise gifts at my door
Howling & yowling to come in

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooowwwwww
What a purrrrrr-sonality
She hunts all night, sleeps in sunlight
She knows she’s a pretty good kitty (pretty kitty)

She’s the whole kit-n-caboodle
My fur-ever Cat-astrophe 
I’ve accepted her feline ways
And the pawprints on my fur-arri 

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooowwwwww
What a purrrrrr-sonality
She hunts all night, sleeps in sunlight
She knows she’s a pretty good kitty 

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooowwwwww
What a purrrrrr-sonality
She hunts all night, sleeps in sunlight
She knows she’s a pretty good kitty (pretty kitty)
