there's been a torrent of songs lately -- too many to finish, let alone post in any coherent form / below is one that just showed up with at least the lyrics nearly complete / i haven't rehearsed it more than a couple times (which probably shows) but i wanted to nudge it out to fly into the digital air nonetheless -- not to would have been suffocation // it's been rather crowded in my lonely perch lately and i can't have more songs flying through the window to haunt my daily life / i'm losing sleep / while i have some space to share, it's not enough for the heavy birds that have been landing / and so i'll at least let this one fly prematurely // i'd expect a more polished version (along with what will likely be an entire new body of work) soon_

heaven from here [08_26_2015]
tonight
this lovely night
everything is just right here
except your eyes to make it bright
do you miss my jokes
like I miss your hopes
in every smile that you gave
but I cannot swim in the sea of your change
and your storm of fear that blows in my past rains
so when you’re all strong
and your winds are calm
will you love again to wipe your tears
because I can see heaven from here
right
or was I wrong
to end it all now
with a hopeful wish in a hopeless song
i’m sorry, dear
i didn’t try for tears, no
but I’ve got them too
just like you
so don’t look back now
or regret a single thing
your love for me made my frail heart sing
and when you’re all strong
and your winds are all calm
will you love again to wipe your tears
because I can see heaven from here
i’ll head on my way
where the nights last all day
and the moon arrives to fill my glass of wine again
there’s nothing to say
when I know you’re okay
and that you’ll shine to make the world a better place
turn darkness to light
with love on your side
you’re beautiful now
no matter who lets you go
