Life In The Time

(альбом: Is It? - 2023)

How was I to know
Kinship there in the reverie

It's a climbing wind
We go through two by two
Not asking why

How was I to sing
Happens all of the time
They say

You and I were supposed to know each other
Better than the clouds these days

It's a maddening century
Clad in
Honest, always

Life in the time of captivity
Love in the time of sanctuary
Life in the time of captivity
Life in the time of singing songs

How was I to know
How was I to know
Kinship there in the reverie

Guess it goes to show
We don't speak
Half-truths each

When we have the day
It's a climbing wind
We go through two by two
Not asking why

It was all a show then
Blue river true
Running through you, always

Life in the time of captivity
Love in the time of sanctuary
Life in the time of captivity
Life in the time of singing songs

How was I to know
How was I to know
Some go out to Rikers in a moment's grace

I was hanging on coattails
Fare thee wells
All that jiving around

Guess it goes to show
We don't speak half-truths each
When we have the day...
