Uncharted Currents

Love and loss.

The Burning Embers
Copyright 1975
Jon and Lisa Kukuk

Time passes by
The long awaited hour
And here am I
Still all alone
With only memories to go by
With only memories of you
With only memories to go by
Memories of you

The burning embers smolder on
So does my love for you
Yet with all my sorrows
And the days gone by
I close the door on you Babe
Close the door on you
I close the door on you Babe
I had to close the door 

From now on I'll sing alone
My gates have closed on you
I fare thee well tonight
I fare thee well tonight

Goodbye my love
My voyage has just begun
My burning embers smolder on
So does my memory of you

Now I'll never forget you
Not in a million years
I could never forget you
Even though I've shed a thousand tears

With only memories to go by
With only memories of you
With only memories to go by
Memories of you

The Burning Embers

As a young lad of 9, I got an opportunity to ride a very special train. This was a one time trip that was never repeated, and I was there as described in my 2022 book Uncharted Currents: My Life Growing Up On The Mississippi River.

The TP&W Song

This track dates back to 1975, and was originally meant to be an acoustic guitar piece to sound like Greensleeves, but it morphed into something else.
