about

Inspired by Rough Music, by Patrick Gale.

lyrics

Making tracks in the sand
Gripping tight with his hands
His breath is taken by the tide of time
And I’m no where now
Just inside this moment in my mind
As the sound of the circles fill his head
And his breath fills a space not yet shared
And the music of the rough memories
Seem sweet in air
As the sand is pulled away from under my feet
And the undertow of the sea,
Carries me sweetly into dreams
And on land I am confused by the face
that I see.
And the chatter of the faces
In their holiday clothes
And the battered old cases
In my mind that holds
My memories of you
But as I try to retrieve it
A wave crashes over my face
Lashing salt water through , these loose veins
So they never quite, seem the same
I am tangled and tied to this place
I a way I did not understand
I am tangled as the tied pulls me
Further away from land
As the sand is pulled away from under my feet
And the undertow of the sea,
Carries me sweetly into dreams
And on land, I am, confused by the face,
that I see.
