about

Using lyrics and one simple direction written by my wife "after a break-up" many years ago, I completed her composition by improvising music on the spot during my seventh "Live From Home" show on April 4, 2020.

lyrics

It's time again, time to hide
When answers turn to questions all the time
Where message bottles get lost in the tide
And hopes get pulled back out to sea

It's time again, for him to hide
But she just takes it all in stride
Her hope is stronger than her pride
But only for the time being

The lightbulb shattered
And darkness falls
Across what really mattered
Nothing can be saved at all

A dreaded tale of love and hate
Of how sadness wins
And how love makes you wait
If only for the time being

End on a major chord- for emphasis of hope.
