On time

On Time

I Was Always There

I am proud to release the album “To Catch Lightning in a Bottle” …a collaboration with the outstanding talent of James Hill on trumpet. James is a constant inspiration.

The music expresses diverse thoughts about the turbulent times we live in. "To Catch Lightning in a Bottle" means to accomplish a nearly impossible task.

To Catch Lightning In A Bottle

The blinds are drawn
The waiters have gone
The bar is now empty
And we’re here alone 

There’s no one on the dance floor
There’s no one drinking wine
So hold me like you did before
Let's dance just one more time

For this club is closing
This is the last night
The bouncer he’s not bouncing
He’s fought his last fight

And so maybe one last kiss
Just one last embrace
Tell me all the things you’ll miss
When they’ve closed this place
 
There’s no one at the hat check
The turnstile, it wont turn
This candle lit at both ends
Has nothing left to burn 

Do you remember
How the floor was bouncing
And the crowd was shouting
As you sang your songs

Do you remember how
The band played on and on and on and on
And oh, under those lights
How I’m going to miss those crazy nights
 
The van is packed
The cases stacked
This is a one way road
I’m not turning back

I’m driving down to Paris
And then across to Spain
But maybe when I get to Rome
We can dance again

LYRICS:

Not long ago
The ice and snow
lay in sheets on the ground
But it's too late now
The seeds of doubt
have taken root all around

The air's a little bit colder today
The day's a little bit longer they say
We'll grow a little bit older this way

I'll never run from the fading sun
So move your tired lungs
in inflated tones
and sing for me
When all we've done
is the sum of exactly 1
I'd never number the days
in the month of February

You gotta know how know how to hold it
Know how to hold it in

I'll never run from the fading sun
So move your tired lungs
in inflated tones
and sing for me
When all we've done
is the sum of exactly 1
I'd never number the days
in the month of February

The Sum of Exactly 1

Last Wishes by Linda Straub

Lyrics

Let me lie down beside the lake
then float upon the water's waves
and listen to the calming sounds
of the loon's wail as evening breaks 

I want to hear the crickets sing
in the silence of a dark night
and let the rain put me to sleep
until I wake at dawn's first light 

Let me gaze at the sky above
and feel the sun upon my face
to clear my mind and fill my soul
and bring comfort in its embrace 

Let me taste the first flakes of snow
as it paints the ground frosty white
and coats the trees with icicles
sparkling gems in the starlight

Let me feel the world around me
and bathe in its magnificence
I may not come this way again
so think of me as I was then. 

I may not come this way again
so think of me as I was then
