Lyrical Intent
the days they linger like the night's so long
the winter's warm and the west wind's strong
a hint of spring falls on deaf ears
making music that no one hears
but it's alright, one must have faith
they say the good always comes to those who wait
a noon time flourish with a handmade riff
i'm a misfit like montgomery clift,
clark cable and marilyn monroe
i'm in the desert with nowhere else to go
but it's alright, one must have faith
they say the good always comes to those who wait
deep velvet blue on a canvass made of stone
words with lost meanings stand stark and alonw
cryptic words of memory missed
don't worry jack: it's just the waiting list
but it's alright, one must have faith
they say the good always comes to those who wait
the good always comes

The Miracle Mile: A Lyric/Poem
in a field, by a lake, near a town
where nobody seems to come around
you will find a road that goes
where spirits they are often found
be sure to stop by the old oak tree
whose branches bend to the scenery
and linger there for just a little while
before you walk the miracle mile
a covered bridge lies past the crest
some like it best, me, i find it rather odd
many have crossed at cost, thinking they
and they alone have seen the face of God
be sure to stop by the old oak tree
whose branches bend to the scenery
and linger there for just a little while
before you walk the miracle mile
the golden rods and the cat-tail fights, such a sight
the child you were laughs in the dusk
and your mother calls but you can't go
sad you know, but you know you must
be sure to stop by the old oak tree
whose branches bend to the scenery
and linger there for just a little while
before you walk the miracle mile
the miracle mile
