about

Power ballad in memory of my parents

lyrics

Standing at the edge of time
These canyon walls, they echo every line
I toss the dice and choose the way
Another footstep closer to the grave

Twilight gives way to night like candles burned away
Your shadows fall around my heart, you lit the way

So many words I wanna say
So many words yet still I never found a way
So many words we left unsaid
Time slipped away now all the words left in the world just fade away

Waiting at the water’s edge
I feel your wings wrap tight around me once again
We’re frozen like a stone in time
Last chances gone, no matter every tear I cry

Twilight gives way to night like candles burned away
Dark shadows fall around my heart you lit the way

So many words I wanna say
So many words yet still I never found a way
So many words we left unsaid
Time slipped away now all the words left in the world just fade away

Twilight gives way to night like candles burned away
Your shadows fall around my heart you lit the way

So many words I wanna say
So many words yet still I never found a way
So many words we left unsaid
Time slipped away now all the words left in the world just fade away
So many words I wanna say
So many words yet still I never found a way
So many words we left unsaid
Time slipped away now all the words left in the world just fade away

So I holed up in my basement with my guitars and a mic & got to work.

Most guys in their 50s with a midlife crisis go out and buy a sports cars or have an affair. Instead, this is MY “Midlife Crisis”. ... more
