great tribute to your friend...appreciate the lyrics and emotive vocals...

solid jazz chords, combined with emotion-packed vocals, really make this one compelling

For M.D.
Lyrics:
You were an acrobat of life
And for those of us in the bleacher seats
With our mouths wide open
I heard you say
You rarely sink to these depths any longer
What makes a person come to the end of their rope?
You parked your car at the end of the road
You were goodness in the purest form (2X)

You walked among us
You talked among us
Some people are just too good for this world
You were the bravest person I've ever known
Disguised and alone
You were an acrobat when it came to life
Walking the high wire
Walking it your entire life
You said:
You rarely sink to these depths any longer
Just when you are starting to figure this whole world out
You were goodness in the purest form (2X)

Goodness In The Purest Form (Song for a friend)

Thanks you so much for listening!

I try to write with rich lyrical details and self-deprecating humor about the human condition. Plus, that unique Shade Structure sound!  It sounds best with headphones. Thanks for any comments, reposts or likes.
