I was married on Sunday
Buried on Monday
On Tuesday I rose
I rose from the sea.

I went down with the anchor
Off Salamanca
Down to the bottom
The anchor and me.

I went down with the anchor
Right to the bottom
And there I rested
Deep in the sea.

I was married on Sunday
Buried on Monday
On Tuesday I rose
The anchor and me.

I was married on Sunday
Buried on Monday
On Tuesday I rose
I rose from the sea.

And if I am lagging
It’s the anchor I’m dragging
The anchor that took me
Into the sea.

I went down with an anchor
Off Salamanca
It went to the bottom
And there I should be.

I was married on Sunday
Buried on Monday
On Tuesday I rose
The anchor and me.

I was married on Sunday
Buried on Monday
On Tuesday I rose
I rose from the sea.

And here I am standing
On soil that is sandy
Thinking about things
The anchor and me.

And if I am lagging
It’s the anchor I’m dragging
What would you expect
With a man from the sea?

I was married on Sunday
Buried on Monday
On Tuesday I rose
I rose from the sea.

I was married on Sunday
Buried on Monday
On Tuesday I rose
The anchor and me.

Electronic Music For Steampunk

In The Shadow Of A Gray Idol

Leonard gazes
Out from the shadows
Peers at a world
Where he cannot be.

Dressed in an old
Natty suit
He stands four-square
In his field of dreams.

He stands there
At the water’s edge 
He cannot cross 
He can only look.

Yet his gaze crosses
That watery field
Transmits the essence
Of every book.

Leonard rests
In Shadow Land
A lighter shade
Against the pale.

There is neither
Dark nor light
Nor is there even
Hill or dale.

It is a place
Of quiet foreboding
From which
Silent sailors rise.

Returning
To the water’s edge 
To lean that way
Until sunrise.

Gazing across
That watery chasm
Drawn by old songs
And memories.

Unable to return
To an old Eden
Unable to move onwards
To the sea.

Leonard gazes
Out from the shadows
Peers at a world
Where he cannot be.

Dressed in an old
Natty suit
He stands four-square
In his field of dreams.

Part 2 - In Patience

“Singing under the girder bridge”

ひとふしの歌吹き流れ
行き過ぎる　髪にまつはり
土に浸み入る

The melody of someone singing is blown by the wind and stuck in the hair of people passing by.
Eventually the melody falls to the road surface, soaks into the soil and disappears.

Vocals: Two street singers & Vocaloid Yukari

Field recording: Recorded at a certain location in Tokyo.
A train passes over a girder bridge and people and cars pass under the bridge. Two street singers sing 'You were born to be loved', written by Rev Lee Min Sup, under the girder bridge, but people pass by indifferently.

Singing under the girder bridge

Singing Under The Girder Bridge

Writer of prose and poetry since mid-1960s. Given an acoustic guitar in 1978 by long-suffering sister. Many songs produced that way. More recently, guitar skills all but faded, using GarageBand and Logic Pro to put words to music.
