My Post Abandoned

An original song, with Jolie Holland, Nick Delffs, and Henry Nagle. 

Fish In The River

A rough mix of an outtake from "Noyo: a Love Story."

Quiet Riot, 1989

Litany

in the dark drag of days 
in the wending of ways
we trudged up the hill looking backwards

and the truths of our time
that we rendered in rhyme
we burnt them to black and to blacker

and the pathways converged
and the medicines merged
and we looked once again to our hero
 
but we found he was gone
though he’d left us a song
before his retreat into zero

let the music play,  and let the array
of stars dance in coldness and splendor
 the stranger is gone  but his music lives on
outside time, outside space, outside gender

 lady stardust loves all who befriend her
  
no cold half-belief
unbitters this grief
no comfort is taken in laughter
 
no romantic schemes
can enter this dream
no notions of a sweet hereafter

it may all be true
but deep in the blues
none of that sweetness can enter

except by the hand
of a starry-eyed man
who placed a cold jewel in our center

  let the music play,  and let the array
of stars dance in coldness and splendor
 our hero is gone but  the music lives on
outside time, outside space, outside gender

 lady stardust loves all who befriend her
