about

Song #9 in my attempt to record and write and record and write a song every week in 2017. INSPIRED by reading King Lear!!!!!!!

lyrics

My heart is desiccated
A field of dead trees
Waiting to be set on fire
Kindled by the breeze

Give up the ghost
Once again
The sun will rise
And our shadows
Will take on the shape
We recognize

Our small shadows
Cut wrinkles into our brow
Pulling down our weight
Til the moon makes us bow

Give up the ghost
Once again
The sun will rise
And our shadows
Will take on the shape
We recognize
