Hello dear Subscribers,
Welcome to Sunday Song. In this semi-regular series, to commemorate all of us getting through another week more or less intact, I present you with a song.
Today’s selection is my own “Spirit Me Away,” recorded in 2019 by Dean Jones at his No Parking Studio in Tilson, NY, and available to stream or – get this – to purchase at my Bandcamp page. Lyrics pasted below. Accompanying pic by Franco Vogt.
Please enjoy. Comments welcome.
Thanks for listening, subscribing, sharing.
Spirit Me Away
by RBW
Echo in the sky above you
Flicker when you close your eyes
Blessings from the ones who love you
Always coming in disguise
Melody from up the staircase
Tumbles down like summer rain
Leaves are burning ‘round the corner
And it’s 1983 again
And the sweet dreams were not destinations
They were just fuel for this ribbon of road
And the angels of your salvation
Their secret words were always in code
Some days everything’s an omen
A maple with a murder of crows
Sunset is a shameless showman
A goodbye beautiful as a rose
And each breath feels like a blessing
Each step a gift from the stingiest god
And there’s no need for late night confessing
All is forgiven but nothing’s forgot
The ghost of a dream
Comes calling in the dark of the day
You are the one
You’re the one to spirit me away
The ghost of a dream
Comes calling in the dark of the day
You are the one
You’re the one to spirit me away
You are the one
You’re the one to spirit me away
You are the one
You’re the one to spirit me away
