about

An acoustic folk song with tropical highlights. Lyrically about abstaining participation in the drama of another but observing it from the outside.

Features the cajon of Juan Medrano Cotito (Susana Bacca, Novalima) and a playful ukulele trio section

lyrics

You’re like a moonrock on the dark side
I’m a scuba diver swimming for the light
You’re like a tombstone with no date of birth
and no sign of life

I’m holding hands with your cousin in the sand
You’re out to sea trying to understand
You’re like a candle on the crest of a wave
waiting for a flame


It’s in your gaze
I feel the feeling
It’s a long a spiral staircase but it ends up at the ceiling
You walk the maze in your little room
I don’t believe you when you sing
but I know you mean to speak the truth
It’s true

Your like a lust lost lover gone mad
I’m a book of old poems sitting on your lap but you don’t read me
You’re lying in the dark drifting off to sleep

Well I could see you smiling shining over all
Instead of poised like rain about to fall
It takes an ocean to dissolve an island
but you can do it, just keep on crying

It’s in the way
you find a reason
It’s a short and crazy dream
when you say just what you mean
You walk the maze
in your little room
I don’t believe you when you sing
but I know you mean to speak the truth
It’s true
Sad but true, it's nothing new


Everything is Made of Love ASCAP
