The Memory of Touch

 

but the sky was blue
and the day was warm
and the sun was clear and bright
i remember well
when the morning fell to night

spring was in the air
people found a smile
even in these trying times
the memory of touch
right before they shut the blinds

build your houses
burn your houses down
raise the glasses high
have another round
try to live your life

maybe things will change
it could be awhile
maybe we’ll be free at last
to hold our lovers tight
and laugh until the storms have passed

take a moment
for the human race
say a prayer for love
our saving grace
the memory of touch

it may be all we have
when the world is new
everything is changing fast
but the sky is blue
simply know this too will pass

what’s a soul to do?
simply know this too will pass

And Therefore Never Send To Know

The Last Song

Sing it now.

Sing it long and hard.

Sing it loud.

Sing as if someone were really listening.

Sing as if your life depended on it.

With heart and soul.

This might be the last song.

Lift the Veil

 

Tell You What I See, She Said
(The Oracle)

Look high
Look low
For the Oracle
She spoke to me

“Lift the veil
Face all of your fears and fail
Surely you’ll see
You do what you do”

The death, the life
Railways into light
And what lies beyond, she knows

“You will look through the window
And tell me what you see

Then i will say
You’re no longer in the fray.”

“You won’t survive.
Put on your wings.
You’re going to fly away.

You will become what you become.
You’d better seize the day.”

“You will look through the window
And tell me what you see”, she said.

“Tell me what you see”, she said.
“Look through the window and tell me what you’ve done.

I will look through the window and tell you what i see.
I’ll tell you what i see”, she said.

“You won’t survive.
Look at yourself.
Baby, what you become, you become.”

“You will become what you become.”

And then she looked away.

“I’ll tell you what”, she said, “Seize the day.”

Resolve

    Resolve

I awoke this morning, in the usual way
with my loved ones near me on a brand new day.

Will i see another? Well, it’s hard to say.

Feel this morning light, everthing will be alright.

I can see you’re runnin’, yes i’m runnin’ too.
And i’m sure you’re learning what you have to do
just to keep on runnin’ ’til the runnin’s through.

Make it through your day, everything will be ok.

Some would say we’re ‘living’, some would say that’s true.
I’d say hallelujah but we’re dying too.

If you find your spirit in an unknown key, take a look around, listen for that hopeful sound, all resolve.

Take a look around. Listen for that hopeful sound. It’s all resolve.

All resolve, it is all resolve, it’ll all resolve.

Feel this morning light, everything will be alright.
Just be strong and true, you and you, by two, by two, all resolve.

Take a look around. Listen for that hopeful sound. It’ll all resolve.

It is all resolve.

On The New Age Of Humans (Dreams are Free)

Presented in honour of The Epileptic Gibbon Podcast’s 10th Anniversary

On The New Age of Humans (Dreams Are Free)

Try looking on the bright side
Everything must go
Yeah, well you made a few changes
How were you to know?
Try looking on the bright side

Sure you were warned
Choices may have grave consequences
But try looking on the bright side
Dreams are free
Wait and see

Try looking on the bright side
All you loved is gone
I wouldn’t worry about it
We’ve been here awhile
Let the new day dawn

Arrogant fools
Stumbling along
Leading the way
What could go wrong?

Once, brave and bold
We crawled out from the sea
Lights of heaven around us

Then we were blind
Suddenly we’ll see things much better

So try looking on the bright side
You were pretty rough
I hear you’re looking for new worlds
Wasn’t this enough?
Maybe not so much

I’m looking on the bright side
Yeah, dreams are free

There was hope in the promise of our coming
There is hope in the knowledge that we’re going

Try looking on the bright side
You have lost your minds
Such an exciting beginning
It’ll be just fine
Let the thing unwind

Say what you will
Do what you must
Spirited clay
Crumbling to dust

Once, brave and bold
You crawled out from the sea
Lights of heaven about you

Then you were blind
But suddenly you’ll see
The world’s much better without you

Try looking on the bright side
