About her
about she
breathing blood
sinew weeps
I hold my breath as you part
netherworlds below my feet
Darkened crow
gathers strength
in the highlands
bitter sweet
Sing for Theo
on christmas eve
daddys mass, mommy weeps
Scale the sheepskin
weave soft silk
I am mourning
one less mouth
lost those kisses
and I love you's
and he sleeps
and he sleeps
To the highlands
to the tall grass
covers him
covers me
and we sleep
and we sleep
and he sleeps
and I sleep
Final footsteps to the pulpit
five and ten toes we did walk
I hold my hand out
it is cold now
Will you warm it from your source
He took the side road
to the highlands
a pint of dark ale
and his past
Vapid castles
that languish
as my love does
for him
About Her
About She
breathing blood
sinew weeps
I hold my breath
as you part
Netherworlds below my feet
January 7, 2003
Today we finished the final building touches to the sound booth in the basement, where I will sing all the pieces to the new album. The lyrics above are set to piano with very little else orchestration. This piece will be my final lament to my daddy............looks like there is one s0ng per album in honour of my father (poor guy)......this song was a breakthrough for me.
in peace

mommy I officially have tuesday and thursday booked off =) GIRL TIME IS A MUST. oh and seeing what's his face.
Dear Combatbaby
how's it going with your daddio??
Definitely come to TO and see what's happening, although I think both the productions you mentioned aren't in circuit right now, but other shows are. There are simply tons of theatres here, and I know that's your specialty. Plus, we all miss you.
Mamma G.........I don't remember if i played this piece for you or not?? What's with parental issues anyway? Need your wise wisdom.
Unrequited.........ok so you and I on the tuesday and the what's his name (dad dad daddio) on the thursday??
Thank you to the women in my life!!
actually I wrote this..and the music.
Dear MW
