From the recording Miami Wind
I wrote this song while putting together a performance for a Western College of Miami Universisty reunion party. At this time I was beginning to write songs agian. I took the back roads on the drive down to a rehearsal in Dayton and was so inspired by the landscape. I wonder if the muses would still be there for me.
Lyrics
See that tree at the end of the lane
What I thought was gone has come home again
On a summer day with a lonesome wind
I said good bye to a life long friend
To move on
And the dream was were gone
It was gone
I left with her so long ago
For reasons now I still don’t know
Pulled me on a path I'd go
like a slow motion movie show
It went on, on and on
But this small town
still looks the same
I can't believe I'm here again
As I look down this tree lined lane
I can't help but wonder if you are home
Clear stars on a moonless night
With no one there but you and I
With the Milky Way hanging in that sky
I looked back so many times
Alone All Alone
But this small town still looks the same and I can see your face again
I look down this tree lined lane
I can’t help but wonder if you are home
Dirt devil in a Miami wind
Some how's brought me here again
to a town full of the ghosts of friends
A different life that might have been with you
What could I do
But the spirits here hold me dear
And I still think of you
It was a precious piece of time
and a young love so true
What made me walk away
and leave it all behind
Some time.
I wished I knew
