about

An older, cast-off tune of ours that found life with idle hands and remote/distanced recording during the pandemic in 2020.

lyrics

Come on, Will don’t you fade on me
‘til sun rises from the west
Both Lucifer and Allah’s screaming
“You're building Rome in a day”
This getting old is sometimes sad
When I see the smiles in old photographs
What once was strong, now seems leaning
But once I’ve heard you say...

Knock me down with a cool, stiff breeze
For it’s a wonder that we can stand
On any day, a small victory
May be all we ever find

It’s safe to say that doubt's our heavy rain
That keeps on leaking in
I know you’re soaked, but my road keeps leading me
Right back by your side
This love is flawed, but it still feels right
Most every way and in record time
So, tip your hat to that paradise
Adrift without a home

Mine is yours, if you want to believe
It's in pieces in the palm of your hand
But, chalk it up as a small victory
Just a wing we can ride for a while

The year that passed was a fallow season
I dreamed I was the field
Sometimes prayers and songs worth singing
Will fall upon a deafened ear
Oh Mozart, it’s a sight to see!
It’s all part of some greater symphony
Some have tunes that need amending
Some can stand on their own

Knock me down with a cool, stiff breeze
For it’s a wonder that we can stand
Any day, those small victories
They’re wings we can ride for a while
They’re just wings we can ride for a while

Come on will….
