Track 13 – This Place

$0.99

One morning, I woke up before Barb did, and I found myself kneeling down beside our bed, just watching her sleep. I was so grateful and humbled by what I felt, and how lucky I was to have the chance to know and comprehend her. So I curled up around my guitar and wrote this song . . . for Barb . . . for being the inspiration for my music and my poetry. As my best friend, you have, since 1970, inspired the writer in me to attempt to capture into words and song what we have lived and felt. “This Place” is dedicated to you . . . to “This Place” that we know and live each day, and to all of the roads that brought us here.  “If we hold each other close enough . . . we can dream each other’s dreams.

Description

 

This Place (4:25)

 

At morning’s light . . . while you’re asleep . . . I watch you ‘til you wake.

And I humbly kneel . . . to what I feel . . . and to this life that each day . . . we make.

When my heart first built its room for you . . . and our minds were still trying to meet;

In hopes you’d build your life on me . . . I laid my spirit at your feet.

 

If we hold each other close enough . . . we can dream each other’s dreams.

For while me in your arms and you asleep . . . Death can never be.

And we must be for eternity . . . for we own the same memories.

With me in your arms and you asleep . . . Death can never be.

 

My pocket holds our precious days . . . I revisit them now and again.

Peeking in to remember when . . . and making sure that they still were there.

When the threads of Time peel away . . . from Life’s short spool, it seems . . .

Our lifetime is a waterfall . . . of our children . . . our friends . . . and our dreams.

 

If we hold each other close enough . . . we can dream each other’s dreams.

For while me in your arms and you asleep . . . Death can never be.

And we must be for eternity . . . for we own the same memories.

With me in your arms and you asleep . . . Death can never be.

 

Across this lake of  life we stare . . . with our minds so deep in prayer.

That we’ll always own just one smooth stone . . . and our dreams to skip us there.

We know love and friendship and “This Place” where Time is found;

And we shall be in Eternity . . . just what we are now.

 

If we hold each other close enough . . . we can dream each other’s dreams.

For while me in your arms and you asleep . . . Death can never be.

And we must be for eternity . . . for we own the same memories.

With me in your arms and you asleep . . . Death can never be.

 

And we must be for eternity . . . for we own the same memories.

With me in your arms and you asleep . . . Death can never be.
