Whistling Wind

Whistling Wind
Down the road, the heavy load
That was so tightly strapped
Gets loosened by a whistling wind
And it’s blowing off my back
Was shouldering a burden
A soul so deeply wracked
Until that welcome whistling wind
Blew it in the past
Ch.
The lightness in a newfound stride
Is changing everything
Now that rivers changing course
And it can carry me
Emptiness and loneliness
Be gone, it’s time to flee
This river calls
And it will carry me
The pressure on a burdened heart
Makes it hard to breathe
But letting in that whistling wind
Made the pressure ease
Listening to that scary voice
That truly plainly speaks
It opens up a scary door
But it’s still an opening

Say You Will

Say You Will
Who’s the someone that will call my name
When I’m lost in the belly of a hurricane
Say you will say you might
If it feels right
Who’s the someone that will hold me right
When I’m caught in the clutches of a darkening night
Who’s the someone that who will hold me right
When I’m caught in the clutches of a darkening night
Who is the someone that will really be there
When I’m spun in the cycle of a quickening fear
Who’s the someone that will really be there
When I’m spun in the cycle of a quickening fear
Say you will say you might
If it feels right
Say the road doesn’t end
It just turns and it bends
Solo then….
Who is the someone that will call my name
When I’m lost in the belly of a hurricane
Who’s the someone that will call my name
When I’m lost in the belly of a hurricane
Who’s the someone that will hold me right
When I’m caught in the clutches of a darkening night
Who is the someone that who will hold me right
When I’m caught in the clutches of a darkening night
Say you will say you might
If it feels right
Say the road doesn’t end
It just turns and it bends
Says that days in the rain
Can be washing sorrow out and away

Same Moon

Same Moon
Tonight it shines so full
Yet it burns with a fiery red
The clouds floating by in different formations
Each one is a story untold
Tonight yours shines so pure
A heart beating into the night
The crashing of waves from the cove down below
Echo’s of mysteries gone by
The view may be different
The birds different plumage
The night comes alive in another tongue
Foods rich with spices from colorful fields
So strange, but still we are gazing upon
The same moon
No matter how big the world
Or what scales are the music that pours from the doors of the bars
So many travelers have passed through these lands
Our differences do fall away
The same moon
The view may be different
The birds different plumage
The night springs alive in another tongue
The foods rich with spices from colorful fields
So strange, but still we are gazing upon
The same moon
Tonight we shine so full
Our hearts beating into the night
We have no interest in any forces
That would seek to pull us apart
Same moon

Space traveler single digit age A solitary track
E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E E F#(open E’s) A
From the capsule of my little ship Launched from the living room

My distant planet was beckoning

Slowly, beautifully she came into view

Some might hide when she looks them in the eye With a beauty so hard to behold

I thought I’d try and it did make me cry But the tears were just washing me home
E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E E F#(open E’s) E

Had a different view
One showed the breadth of my family home
Another just my room
One beheld the wonder of the galaxies
Another all of history
And one special window in no secret place
Showed me absolutely everything

Some might hide when she looks them in the eye
With a beauty so hard to behold
I thought I’d try and yes, it made me cry But the tears were just washing me home

Everyone would walk by but I’d just hide

All the sensors were set to roam

Celestial flares flying everywhere

Sped the captain of the cosmos home

And when the world is closing in I still climb inside…

About to Fall
Words and Music
by GlennSiegel
Intro
4/4
A Aaug5
Throughout the ages a pervading theme
Bdim A F#m B
Manifesting in humanity The acting out of reckless dreams
D Bdim A Bm7A
Until the power falls
A Aaug5
The way that history’s written by so few
Bdim A
With ever bending and convenient rules
F#m B D Bdim ABm7A
That don’t allow the possibility that they could be about to fall
D Bdim A Bm7A
E D A E D A
Lovely Marie in all her finery blinded from danger by her jewelry
F#m B D Bdim A Bm7A
Shield by hedges and painted screens yet she was about to fall
D Bdim A Bm7A
And her head was about to roll
A Aug5 A Aug5
A Aaug5
Despite amassing the world’s greatest army
Bdim A
And winning victory over victory
F#m B
And ruling all the land from sea to sea
D Bdim A Bm7A D Bdim A Bm7A
He was about to fall And then Elba called
E D A
And shivering sailors in their scurvy dreams
E D A
Carry out the wishes of their frenzied kings
F#m B D Bdim A
Even when it can be plainly seen That they’re about to fall
D Bdim A
And that with them goes all
Solo
A Aaug5 D Bdim A
F#m B D Bdim A Bm7A
F D7 Adim D F#dim ADADADA
E D A
Over and over here we go again
E D A
Needle in the balance and it never ends
F#m B D Bdim A Bm7A
Power abused with gluttony Creates a mighty fall
D Bdim A Bm7A
Could be time to hear the call
A Aug5 A Aug5
A Aaug5
The illusion of our ability to control
Bdim A
Mother nature when she goes against our goals
F#m B
Begets the question and with urgency
D Bdim A Bm7A D Bdim A Bm7A
Are we about to fall Have we finally hit the wall
D Bdim A Bm7A D Bdim F D7 A
Business as usual And the winner loses all

Words
I thought I’d write you
What I was tempted to say
But too much emotion got in the way
I started to write
The words I wasn’t saying
But a welcome breeze
Blew them all away
I was going to flood you
With the words I felt that day
But I learned before
How they could cause pain
I was going write them
Those words I wanted to say
Words that would hurt
Think that I’ll just play
I’ll just play
In spite of all that I was tempted to say
You can’t un-ring a bell
I’ll just play
In spite of all that I was tempted to say
You can’t un-ring a bell
So I’ll just play
So I’ll just play

99 Years
It took me 99 years to make the change
It took me 99 years. Does that seem strange?
It took me 99 years all the same
It took me 99 years to admit
99 years to unstick
99 years to let it shift
Chorus
33 years in a sleepy state
And 33 more years to awake
And then finally come another 33
When a flash of understanding finally washes over me
It took 99 years to realize
That it don’t take 99 years
To let it thrive
And after 99 years
You might be barely alive
Ahh and only one thing,well maybe 2 or 3
At the end of the day amounts to anything
And so much time is spent on every other thing
Chorus
Bridge
After roaming round so many neighborhoods
Looking for the one that really feels good
One might come to finally realize
That the very best one is right before your eyes
99 Years
99 Years
99 Fears
N N N 99 Tears
99 Years
