Story Behind The Song

Years ago, my home set mid-way between a top of a high mound, I used to climb the mound to a bench set I built to over look the valleys below. One day, I sat and wrote this song.... it has a killer guitar track and poetic psychedelic-like lyrics.... and a nice vocal. One reviewer call it a track that came off as a "one-man version of a Led Zepplin-like track>

Song Description

A song about life, love, freedom, giving and more.

VERSE 1.
We may have talked
We may have thought
We may have dreamed together
Yet, as I sit here right now
It really means nothing
Crossing the days off of the calendar
Watch them peacefully march on
In the crisscross march of today
In a parade of constant time

CHORUS
And here I sit upon the hill
And watch the cloud show
And here I sit upon the hill
And watch the cloud show
And here I sit upon the hill
And watch the cloud show go by

VERSE 2.
For me there is only the thought
Of your touch and its warmth
To keep me till time
Takes my hand leads me and then we kiss
To be free to fear is life
To be free to exist is being
To be free to wonder is liberty
To be free to love is essence

CHORUS - Repeat
And here I sit upon the hill
And watch the cloud show
And here I sit upon the hill
And watch the cloud show
And here I sit upon the hill
And watch the cloud show go by

MUSICAL BREAK

VERSE 3.
The art of forming fantasy
Has been woken from its bed
It may be here to give us a human truth
Yet, destruction may kill it instead
Won't you stop and wallow in a dream
Share the natural high of love
You come with sincere wishes
And leave me with a happiness

CHORUS - Repeat
And here I sit upon the hill
And watch the cloud show
And here I sit upon the hill
And watch the cloud show
And here I sit upon the hill
And watch the cloud show go by

And we will drink morning dew
Forever and ever
And gaze at your moon
