When the wind gathers up
Some branches gonna undo
And when the sea's creeping up
Some waves are gonna break though

Well it feels like everything
Got thrown around the room
And the pieces on me
Are breaking down too soon

Not a day goes by
I don't think of you
And I hope into the sky
That we'll see it through
To the Trail

Time is pressing on
Kinda like a steamroller
How long was I gone
And how long have you been over

There were wonderful days
And we never thought they'd end
But the forests are ablaze
And I'm missing you my friend

Not a day goes by
I don't think of you
And I hope into the sky
We will rendezvous
On the Trail

On the Trail, we will ride
Side by side, just like then
When we reach that Great Divide
Can we be, together again
On the Trail

Well the mountains will rise
Then the snows will fall
It's the alpine's demise
And the sea takes all

But me, I'm hanging on
As the darkness hails
'Cause when the sun has withdrawn
The ice prevails

Not a day goes by
I don't think of you
And I hope into the sky
We will rendezvous

Not a day goes by
I don't think of you
And when I say my goodbyes
I'll save a place for you
On the Trail

The Trail

Is there not a thing that I can say to get through you?
How can I unbend you now? 
And when that part of you that’s left is so lost too,
How can I defend you now?

One day walking the wave, walking on the wave. 
One day one day, walking on the wave, walking on the wave.

When the only part of me that’s left’s apart from you,
How can you amend me now?
When the only part of you that’s left is away too,
How can I suspend you now?

One day walking the wave, walking on the wave
One day one day, walking on the wave, walking on the wave.

One small step or one giant leap you’re still gonna fall, 
And six feet down or scattered around it don’t matter at all.
It don’t matter at all.

When the only part of you that’s left is part of me,
That’s how you’ll defend me now.
And if I try to graft what’s left of the debris,
That’s how you can mend me now?

One day walking the wave, walking on the wave.
One day one day, walking on the wave, walking on the wave.

Walking On The Wave

Lyrics....

Here we go
Into the sunset
We’ll never forget
All we had

There we go
Into the black
From whence we came
And won’t come back

We only have
So many summers
So many summers
We have
But don’t be sad
So many summers
So many summers
We’ve had

Into the sunset
Back to the magnet
Another epithet
Ferro Lad

Around the coastline
Up in the alpine
We had a lifetime
So don’t be sad

We only have
So many summers
So many summers
We have
But don’t be sad
So many summers
So many summers
We’ve had

So Many Summers

A test mix and arrangement of this song. Perhaps it might be more suitable recorded more like a classic country song. Hmmm.

Lyrics

I have a heart-shaped scar
I let nobody see
And you’re the only one
Who knows it’s part of me

I have a heart-shaped scar
That’s not a work of art
No port-wine stain or tattoo  
It’s where you cut out my heart 

There’s a hole you cut 
Right through me 
And over time it’s filled in
With life’s debris
But there’s no hiding what the space used to be
And there’s no lying
What was removed from me…
From the heart-shaped scar

I gave it all to you
Was yours to love and hold
Not to remove from me
To be left still and cold

And if you gave it back
You think that I could heal?
From your heartless crime 
What would my skin reveal?

There’s a hole you cut 
Right through me 
And over time it’s filled
With life’s debris
But there’s no hiding what the space used to be
And there’s no lying
What was removed from me…
From the heart-shaped scar

I have a heart-shaped scar
I let nobody see
It’s only you that know
Because you gave it to me

Yeah you cut and run
And that has carved an arc
I may be scarred for life
But it’s a new birthmark

There’s a hole you cut 
Right through me 
And over time it’s filled
With life’s debris
But there’s no hiding what the space used to be
And there’s no lying
What was removed from me…
From the heart-shaped scar

The Heart-shaped Scar

Written in a kind of classic country mode, like something George Jones might sing. I obscured the subject of the song a bit, most will think it's a person, but I wrote it for a thing. If I ever make a video, it will depict an eBay auction, :-D
I felt the song was missing something, and then tried the trombone. That was a lot of fun and I like what it adds.
