Standard (EADGBE)

To capture for a lifetime what in moments catches on

To put to paper what it was about that song

Homemade magnetic tapes for all the people that you love

For purity, or bravery, or grace, or just because that’s what a heart does

The echoes encompassing us!

 I feel a strange prehension that is much bigger than me

A shadow falls ahead so far I fail to see

 And so at times I’d like a map to what I cannot comprehend

 But infinite cartographer, your trusted magic pen

 Can only ink against the edge of understanding!

 Yeah, you always draw me on along, questions compounding

 But family and friends their thoughts therein will interject

 And, oh, to feel the strength in all the places they connect

 There’s time’s we’ve spoken cryptically and times we’ve been direct

 Sometimes we speak so cyclically, sometimes just hold our breath and see

 that presence sets the stage for conversation!

 Or simply says what it must say with its intention!

(, )

then play:

(, , , , , )

And so we start to feel we shoudn’t be so scared

 We see this understanding as the only thing that’s there

 There’s feelings you must overcome, and feelings you must use,

 And strengthened by a timeless love that you must never lose

 It’s born of ancestry and poetry and chemistry!

 Horizon lines and volume and infinity!

(, )

For now we focus on whatever comes to mind

A slow progression, though a tender one, we find

 The sun against a face some hot Ohio afternoon

 A timeless sense of place among the relics in my room

 A low hanging amber melon of a moon.

 We can stop and sleep and plan the next day soon.
