Years have come and gone since

Years have come and gone since
You passed away that day

My arms are still outstretched

For you to come and stay

On Carl’s fog you left me

Succumbed to your own fate

I miss your company

Without eyelids I wait

Here at the beginning

Here at the beginning

Another chance to start

Begin again as fresh

Like night and its first star

Knowing what’s gone is gone

It’s about to happen

Clean slate, new coat of paint

Opposite of has been

World invading my world

World invading my world

I’m angered ‘til the end

No wonderment of peace

The World is creeping in

I want to make it stop

Yet, I have no control

The World commits its crimes

And always gets parole

I am searching here for peace

I am searching here for peace

And yet I find a rumble

Silence is the only Truth

But I can hear a mumble

I have given up on grace

Never are the stars aligned

I am seeking without might

And I find myself resigned

Some days then not another

Some days then not another

I’m defying gravity

Here is where the sky meets land

And my creativity

Is born on air, its parent

Is the essence of alive

The words are written for me

All I do is just transcribe

At dusk in the winter

At dusk in the winter

The end of the sun blink

Behind the clouds and trees

I watch it slowly sink

The impossible dream

My youth, it has been spent

Now older looking back

Wondering where it went

Remember this moment

Remember this moment
The day all wrapped in light
Statue of Liberty
Always within our sight

A warm day in winter
We’re off the beaten track
Manhattan before us
Shared years upon our back

I remember a time and know

I remember a time and know

That only I will understand

But I cannot translate it to

Paper, or play or music grand

Yet I can call it up the ranks

And surface it in present tense

It defines me and I know when

I go, it goes, no evidence
