The Airship

The view from there… was little more…
Than anywhere… else could afford…
But the sky… drawing dark… said otherwise.
Late summer… stars appeared…
Sunset faded… the lake disappeared…
Story told… of an image lost… to our eyes.
Pre-chorus
Threshold… time told… glitter and gold
The lake the light the day goes dark tonight
The wind the world our eyes betray our sight
We’ll never launch the airship aright
Driving home… we filled your car…
With zeppelins… with a craft bazaar…
It was raucous… it was silent… it was strange.
The road ahead… was growing dark…
We missed the exit… we missed our mark…
I was so young… I wanted nothing… to change.
Threshold… time told… glitter and gold
The earth the sky the road goes dark tonight
A crown a fool our eyes betray our sight
The airship aflame in flight
We’ll never launch the airship aright
We’ll never launch the airship aright

Get your coat, grab your hat
We’re beyond the time for idle chat
You’ve set a standard, always the diplomat
No one disputes that
But times have changed
Everything’s rearranged
Everyone’s become estranged
Make peace with whom you must
Collect the ashes, sweep the dust
All the moving parts have oxidized to rust
Yeah, it’s unjust
They say times have changed
The calendar’s rearranged
Your heroes are all deranged
Take the chance, take the call
Pride before the fall
Everyone, everything
Soon it starts to sting
Tear the bandage off the wound
Your branches have all been pruned
Find the frequency where we’re all attuned
You’re marooned
You just want a taste
You slipped in your haste
Everything’s gone to waste
Grip the handlebars and ride
You and your burden, the moon and tide
You don’t see the light… as it slips to night
When you stand at the seaside
When you stand at the seaside
When you stand at the seaside
Let’s ride
Make peace with whom you must
Collect the ashes, sweep the dust
All the moving parts have oxidized to rust
Yeah, it’s unjust
They say times have changed
Everything’s rearranged
Your heroes are all deranged
Take the chance, take the call
Pride before the fall
Everyone, everything
Soon it starts to sting
Soon it starts to sting
Soon it starts to sting
Soon it starts to sting

Mary, the Moon & Me

Monday morning... supermoon
Glory, glory
Monday morning supermoon
Never knew so holy
Leaves, Kabuki trees, silent
Wind in the West held counsel
Myriad thoughts become me
Mary, the moon and me… (my)
Very own holy see
Everything here to foresee
Mary, the moon and me
Misty morning radiance
Prisms the light
Misty morning radiance
Daylight flowers from night
Clarity, ring in bells of morning
The bells sing shapes of brighter days
Your face fills the horizon
Mary, the moon and me… (my)
Very own holy see
Everything here to foresee
Mary, the moon and me
Hold onto this waking dream
Coronas without kings
Hold my hand, hold my gaze
In this silence the stones all sing
Here my voice ye supermoon
Celestial things come crashing soon
Nothing speaks and nothing tells
As everything, everything
