Sadness,
Sadness all over,
When I walk the streets near home,
I taste it on my breath,
Our children,
Now they are much older,
I feel it on my shoulder,
The clean white hand of death,
Oh not so long ago,
A new beginning,
A laser point of light,
Picking out,
A distant far horizon,
A neat and tidy,
Clean white design for my life,
Older,
Now we are much older,
We should be at peace,
Need you,
Need me,
Bitterness,
An eastern cold,
A western fire,
The body needs completion,
We're wearing out our years,
In a costume damp with tears,
We're wading through mud on a darkening track,
My stone cold heart it takes no prisoners,
You're free to leave at any time,
You've given birth to our hostages,
We'll carry them for all our time,
Wading through mud on a darkening track,
An eastern cold,
A western front,
I kept a picture from a skip,
I creamed the scum of chintz,
A prince,
A princess,
A fairytale reminder,
A brother sister finder,
A cross to bear,

Intoxicating euphoric ethereal psychedelic soul at it’s very best … and I do mean intoxicating, as the adventure never rises above heartbeat level, locked into a slow-paced groove bewitched by R&B inspirations from the late 60s and early 70’s that reach out of the darkness with an easy going vibe of love, joy and happiness.
