about

A love song for a very old woman.

lyrics

I love your jet black wiry hair
when it falls on your skin so soft and fair
I wish I could take you somewhere

And in your museum living room
I smell history on it and you
I can only look at your eyes
they're too deep to look into

But Melba you ease my mind
the things you say I find
are so void of indecision
I could leave my past behind me

I know you survived the war
have values you don't find now
so set in your ways just like a
rock I want to move somehow

Together we sleep at night
I see lines on your face in the moonlight
I can almost count your heartbeats
A clock in space, that no one can wind

But Melba you ease my mind
the things you say I find
are so void of indecision
I could leave my past behind me

The other red thread throughout, albeit perhaps on a slightly lesser note, are quirky, subtly atonal instrument details" Progmessor 5/2021 ... more
