about
I was House sitting: awesome baby grand, an arched window to the sky. Almost gave the old dog we were looking after (and me) a heart attack mid song when my hand caught the piano lid and slammed it shut. Medium tempo ballad that builds until the guitar solo takes over at the end. The lyrics and music came at the same time.
The piano leads me to the invisible stairs
Those gathered round show me to where
The second story lives softly awake
Answering every question, landing in another dimension
Uncluttered space where silence awaits
Takes me beyond where thoughts have gone
Love lies shrouded in ever lasting memory
A child awaits in peace, holds out a hand
Others there are waiting for me to understand
An ancient story to come clear, I feel a softly spoken sphere
Lead me on through the pastel painted picture, now it’s gone
There’s a view and the porthole shaped window shares it too.
The essence of this tale floats on a tune
Water softly cascading falls from the moon
And rises in the air lifts us to where
Lives another story, it lives here
World of love above, within so we can start again….
Lead me on through the pastel painted picture now it’s gone
There’s a view from the sacred second story
