[A1]
Maybe tomorrow 
This ocean will be blue again
Ripples will be glistening 
Sailors will be whistling
And my heart will shine like new again

[A2]
Maybe tomorrow
The heavens won’t be looking forsaken
No more clouds of sadness
Just yellow rays of gladness 
To heal me and help hope awaken

[B]
Yesterday overflowed with laughter
You were there 
Smiles were everywhere
But now today, the sea I sail is lonely
And my heart longs for repair

[A3]
Maybe tomorrow
I will understand my role in our story
If I can figure out my karma
Then maybe I will know
Maybe tomorrow

[INTERLUDE]

Then maybe I will know

When I figure out my karma
Then maybe I will know
Maybe tomorrow

Speak to Me

Dawn

A Lovers Dance

The two of you are dating and inseparable.  But after awhile you drift apart and split up.  Each goes their own way, both feeling happy but sometimes sad. They end up missing each other and get back together.

The piano track is from EZKeys2. The drums and bass tracks are from Band-in-a-Box using my sound sources. Via my breath and keyboard controllers I am playing the Swam tenor sax and flute.


A Lovers Dance

The earth shatters
and drags you down
Nowhere an escape
is to be found
Memories fade and jumble
Crossroads crack and crumble

I am here
if you’re asking
I am here
I am now
Walk away or turn around
But you must know
I am here

Your shame burns through
and scars your mind
All the good things
get left behind
Memories fade and jumble
Crossroads crack and crumble

I am here
if you’re asking
I am here
I am now
Walk away or turn around
But you must know
I am here

I might not be the rainbow
At the end of the storm
But I could be the sunlight
That keeps you warm

I Am Here

Circa the late 1960's.
Place, the jazz lounge at the Holiday Inn
Band, Mario and His Mystical Merry Music Makers

I did this just for the fun of it.

I am playing my Jay Turser Jazz box guitar and via my breath and keyboard controllers the Swam Tenor Sax.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks using my sound sources.

Grooving at the Holiday Inn

A teenager's first love just broke up with them. They mope around until lovesick blue fades away and they find another love of their life.

The harp is from a MIDI harp loop.
The piano is from EZKeys2
The strings are from Band-in-a-Box
All are using my sound sources.
Via my breath and keyboard controllers I am playing the Swam violin and Bassoon.


Lovesick Blue

The Emperor has died. As the Royal and flamboyant funeral march goes through the streets of his kingdom his citizens mourning his death.  

I am way outside my comfort zone on this one.

Band-in-a-Box is supplying the drum, background strings and guitar tracks.  I am playing everything else.

The Emperor's Funeral March

We wake in the morning taking our places
And march to the beat of the drum
Perpetual motion somehow erases
All that we ache to become

And, oh, so we go
But one day the calm will come
Until then I’m holding out for love

Watching it sideways it all seems so shaken
The way that our world ought to be
One of these days our hearts will awaken 
And then we may finally see

That, oh, heaven knows
How the dark will be undone
Until then, I’m holding out for love

Feel this heart inside 
and know it’s always meant to shine
No matter what the world demands
Love and fate have better plans
It’s hard to see now
With eyes closed and head down

But, oh, heaven knows
How one day your kingdom comes
Until then, I’m holding out for love.
