"Zeppelin Over Tipton"

1.⁠ ⁠In Tipton town as day grew dim,
   The workers trudged, tired and grim.
   A distant roar filled folk with fright,
   Through fire and fear, we held on tight.

2.⁠ ⁠The Zeppelin loomed, a beast of war,
   Its bombs rained down with mighty roar.
   Union Street crumbled, homes laid low,
   Through fire and fear, we held on so.

3.⁠ ⁠In Tivoli, pints stood untouched,
   As men rushed out, by duty clutched.
   Fourteen souls lost, gone in a flash,
   Through fire and fear, we stood steadfast.

4.⁠ ⁠Thomas Morris ran home in dread,
   To find his world in ruin spread.
   Wife and children, now with the Lord,
   Through fire and fear, we still endured.

5.⁠ ⁠Dawn revealed our town transformed,
   Faces sooted, hearts forlorn.
   Yet from the ashes, hope still gleamed,
   Through fire and fear, we stood redeemed.

Bridge:
   A hundred years have come and gone,
   But we remember that grim dawn.
   When war reached out and struck our door,
   And changed our lives forevermore.
   Old Tipton's tale, we'll always tell,
   Of how united, we prevailed.

6.⁠ ⁠Now Tipton stands, unbowed and strong,
   A testament to righting wrong.
   When Zeppelins brought the Great War home,
   Through fire and fear, we weren't alone.

LYRICS
They say time heals all wounds
That's not something I trust
Time's betrayed me all of my life
Thinking there would always be enough

The light around me is fading 
Goals of yesterday far behind
Life's desire is winding down
New ambition is hard to find

Soon I'll leave for higher ground
Who will help see me through

It's all breaking down around me
This wasn't part of my plan
I never thought that tomorrow
Was something I would outrun

Soon I'll leave for higher ground
Who will help see me through

My time is drawing near
I need you to help see me through
Please sing to me sweet songs of love
I just want to dance away with you

My blue eyes are turning gray
Memories have grown weaker too
I don't care what's left for me
If I can just dance away with you

My time here has drawn to a close
I need you to help see me through
Please whisper to me sweet songs of love
I just want to dance away with you

My blue eyes have turned to gray
Memories no longer seem true
I've got nothing left to give
Except dance away with you

The light has faded away
Nothing left to decide
Please hold me tight and dance with me
As I drift off away by your side

Another older man song. Sorry. I'm an older man. Maybe someone out there can relate to this song of reflection.

Sanctuary

"The Weight of Absence" is a haunting indie folk ballad that plunges deep into the depression stage of grief. With its minimal acoustic guitar and deep, weary vocals, the song paints a vivid picture of overwhelming sadness and isolation. It captures the struggle of everyday existence in the wake of profound loss, the feeling of drowning in sorrow, and the seeming endlessness of pain. The slow tempo and subtle cello underscore the heaviness of emotion, creating a poignant exploration of grief's darkest depths while offering a faint glimmer of hope for eventual healing.

Lyrics
Cold air freezes the bed
Sends a blink into your head
To the darkness of the room 
It's a silent one

Screaming from the mountain tops
Off tonight when the rain has stopped 
When your clothes are wet and heaviness
Webs around your head like a spiderweb 
That's the silent one

And nothing stays the same
Everything is always in change 
Transitions rearrange 
Everything else would be a different game and not part of this age

Bare feet on a warm sunny day
Chase the sand dream your thoughts away
You show me love
You're the silent one

And it's creeping up in the night 
Webs around your fireflies 
I try to be the only hun
And you're the silent one

And nothing stays the same
Everything is always in change 
Transitions rearrange 
Everything else would be a different game and not part of this age

And nothing stays the same
Everything is always in change 
Transitions rearrange 
Everything else would be a different game and not part of this age

Bare feet on a warm sunny day
Chase the sand dream your thoughts away
You show me love
