September Moon

from Step Right, Shake Left by Jim Beckwith

/

about

a Bluesy jazzy tune written with my good friend, Devin Rice.

lyrics

In the silence there's a distant moon
burning through the fabric of the sky;
Transporting troubles to other worlds
and things much larger than I.

(seems like) Saturn sits on the edge of space
going nowhere,
A static revolution - that's how I feel
I'm moving like sideways motion;
Life is a rhthm and a reel.

September moon
cut a hole in the midnight sky
and memories that I've had of you
in days gone by.

Don't bypass the heart
Never disregard the moon
the second to say I love you
passes all-but-all too soon.

Would working heal the clever cat,
or heal the severed self?
Could thinking keep this man alive,
his brains up off the shelf?

I have no opinion
(meaning no philosophy)
If I do it would not change
the way things are today,
and tomorrow will be tomorrow
no matter what I have to say.
