“Ebb and Flow”, one of my originals from the fall.
Inspired by Longfellow’s “The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls”.
Lyrics:
“Eternally bright, that’s the instinctual picture the lover’s mind to keep.
But cycles come, and then to go, and soon the tide will change.
Don’t give up, just take a breath; it’ll be over soon, I promise.
Just wait along for the new moon.
Don’t know how to feel or what to think- the tide still falls.
The water pulls us down; we’re drowning in a sea, I can’t recall a thing.
Don’t give up, just take a breath; it’ll be over soon, I promise.
Just wait along for the new moon.
[Instrumental, etc.]
Thinner and thinner, the arc grows dimmer- lose its glow.
Just wait for the sunrise, get away from the moonlight you think you know.
my note: a creamy pearl…
