Baker Street

Words and music (c) 2019 Mattie Lintzenich

I found myself
in the aisle of dreams
lookin' for a cure I couldn't find
for the things that berate me
in the corners of my mind

and I was thinkin'
when I found my long-lost ghost

(chorus)
There were sunbeams
that forgot to gleam
streams that can't remember
how to flow
or where to go
teeming with moonbeams.

But I left them there
in the muddy gloom
and exited the room.

And I was thinkin'
about the time I rode my bike
down a gauntlet
to see a friend,
and when I reached the end
the medicine kicked in,
I fell asleep in his chair
while he sat there.

(chorus)

We were watching 
something on the TV
in his room,
but I left him there
in the ancient light
lookin' at me
asleep in his seat
dreamin' of the night.

And I was thinkin'
when I found my long-lost ghost

There were sunbeams
that forgot to dream,
streams that can't remember
how to flow
or where to go,
teeming with moonbeams.

Fire up the sun

Moonbeams (acoustic demo)

A multicolored shimmer hovering beautifully at the edge of creation.
