Story Behind The Song

Song Description

This is a floating cut, part remembering and part real time piece. It begins with the recalled Easter, just passed, when the couple found themselves outside their emotions, their rituals, their love for one another. Then ensues a bright processional type bridge of trumpets and full drum kit. It might suggest a good and healthy parting and releasse. But then the piece quites down and we find the man staating his undying love and loyalty to someone who has left him behind. He abides at the boundary waters; on one side the past and the other, a purgatory of baseless hope and endless longing. A landscape of longing.

Lyrics

as you handed me the off'ring
i untied the silken braid
so the crimson handmade paper
on the April snow fall lay
and we heard the church bells
for the sunrise service call
but this year we were not attending
we weren't worshipping at all
bound to earth our hollw hearts
nothing rises from the grave
on this Easter torn apart
nothing cherished
no one saved

delicate the monarch on the pines
Venus rose above the colbalt lake
so this August night conspires
in this cruelest month of Summer
on these boundary waters, blue
i will always wait for you
