Waves #3: So ... what now?




*          *          *
"Do I have an answer to the great mystery?
No more than anyone else.  
Have I come and gone before? 
If so, how many times and in what fashion?  

Who or what was I before?
Does it even matter if I know the answer or not?  I am here now."

Graveyard Blues (Not Another Day)                                                 
(music & lyrics by Brent D. Scheihagen)

I miss the touch of my lady
now that she's so far away
I miss the touch of my lady
now that she's so far away

The sun won't shine no more
with the clouds in the way
The sun won't shine no more
with the clouds in the way

Well, I'm all dressed up
but there's nowhere I can go
and I can't stand it
not for another day

Even angels pass me by
for letting her slip away
Even angels pass me by
for letting her slip away

I can't see any more
without the light of my life
and I can't stand it
not for another day

Shut up inside, I feel -
     cold in darkness, I'm sealed
          devils call, but I won't heed
their temptation not my need
I'm planted here not to grow
for I have reaped what I have sown

I'm left so alone now
but I wait every day
I'm left so alone now
but I must wait every day

She came but once to see my 'stone
forevermore the earth my home
and so she turned 
and walked away...
