Lyrical Intent

t21music@charter.net (WM.BATES) — Wed, 1 Feb 2012 13:08:00 -0500

the days they linger like the night's so long
the winter's warm and the west wind's strong
a hint of spring falls on deaf ears
making music that no one hears

but it's alright, one must have faith
they say the good always comes to those who wait

a noon time flourish with a handmade riff
i'm a misfit like montgomery clift,
clark cable and marilyn monroe
i'm in the desert with nowhere else to go

but it's alright, one must have faith
they say the good always comes to those who wait

deep velvet blue on a canvass made of stone
words with lost meanings stand stark and alonw
cryptic words of memory missed
don't worry jack: it's just the waiting list

but it's alright, one must have faith
they say the good always comes to those who wait

the good always comes

The Miracle Mile: A Lyric/Poem

t21music@charter.net (WM.BATES) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:02:00 -0500

in a field, by a lake, near a town

where nobody seems to come around

you will find a road that goes

where spirits they are often found

be sure to stop by the old oak tree

whose branches bend to the scenery

and linger there for just a little while

before you walk the miracle mile

a covered bridge lies past the crest

some like it best, me, i find it rather odd

many have crossed at cost, thinking they

and they alone have seen the face of God

be sure to stop by the old oak tree

whose branches bend to the scenery

and linger there for just a little while

before you walk the miracle mile

the golden rods and the cat-tail fights, such a sight

the child you were laughs in the dusk

and your mother calls but you can't go

sad you know, but you know you must

be sure to stop by the old oak tree

whose branches bend to the scenery

and linger there for just a little while

before you walk the miracle mile

the miracle mile
