DESCRIPTION:
live performance of my newest work in progress... written by kmh, and recorded with jimmy deer's wonderful guitar/musical contributions -- in san francisco over the holidays.
lyrics:
borrowed one blue
save it
for a rainy day
she said
there's no other way
my bags are packed
i'm leaving today
there is consternation
regarding destination
borrow my heart
don't leave it when you go
a space that's crunched down
like footprints in snow
tracing the tracks
and only god knows
there is hesitation
regarding destination
finally my heart is free
soar like a bird
you have my word
soft at first with twists and turns
a fallen tree will grow in spurts
from numb to feeling sometimes hurts
now pins and needles burst through words
then she looks at me and asks me where we're going
one old
one new
one borrowed one blue
she said
choose one
expecting i do
out on the skinniest limb
and searching for new
there's no expectation
regarding destination
finally my heart is free
soar like a bird
you have my word
soft at first with twists and turns
a fallen tree will grow in spurts
from numb to feeling sometimes hurts
now pins and needles burst through words
then she looks at me and asks me where we're going
