about

In 3/4 timing, that of waltzes and lullabyes... but this is a sweet tune, written at a favorite beach spot I never wanted to leave, on a day I didn't want to end... I decided to blues it up a little, add some spunk.

lyrics

AWAY
Why can’t it stay today? Here I feel you close
Tomorrow’s morn threatens find you a ghost
Won’t you come with me down that long loveless road
...that climbs and plummets till souls erode

Away… falling leaves
Blindness…steals me
Away…the trees’ll forget
I’d stay..if they’d let

now the Waves graze tender your face everywhere
and darkness renders a star- bound prayer
Asked you to follow me down that road weary
Maybe I should let you go first, you lead

Chorus [Away falling leaves...]

Away … all time goes
To where? No one knows
Away … Days they pass
This space …. Always lasts

All the fleeting hints on the tip of my mind
...fade and leave imprints, warm empty spots behind
Then I find roots of promising green inside
that through this clamorous labyrinth I will revive

Away … [repeat chorus]
