Postlude

rough worktape -  not produced-  would need to be re-recorded, etc
LYRICS: 
The highway stretches out beneath a starlit sky
The moon's white eye above and my guitar beside
Each small town is waiting with an open stage
A tank of gas and breakfast are my wage

  Echoes in the night
  Lyrics on a melody in flight
  Echoes in the night
  Tryin' to pierce the darkness with some light
  Echoes in the night

People come to listen to me sing my songs
From 9 to 1AM I feel like I belong
Dreamers in the shadows looking for some light
Make me think I'm doing something right 

Morning comes and I am on the road again
Chasin' new horizons with my six-stringed friend
Lonely is the daylight while the night's unseen
That's the price I pay to live my dream

Echoes In The Night  Work Tape 12.29.23

Take This Cup Away 3.14.23
