I see my reflection yield, distorted in the prism of your eyes. And I can’t help but feel this ever-widening schism in our lives. Can’t remember … my surrender… Was I sleeping? Vacant, dreaming… (Can’t remember ... my surrender…) I’ve awakened something best left undisturbed, quiescent in my heart. (Dim, undefined in my own mind…) I’m shaken, wondering yet if I’d misheard those lessons from the start. (Vague, unfocused, faint and formless fear…) I see shadows growing, diving deeper into darkness as it falls. (Flee together … free forever…) Seem somehow knowing while they keep their secrets hidden from us all. (Stay the new moon, day comes too soon near…) I see my reflection yielding warped and bent by time as it goes by. (Can’t remember … my surrender…) Still I can’t help but feel there’s more intended for me by this life. (Strange, almost seen, change is coming here…)
2.
The foothills of my home sing clear, calling to my bones… Fields of darkened loam lie there, waiting for the snows… And although so far away, I’ll return to them someday … and I’ll stay… But please know before I go, my dear, I love you ever more… The hillsides burn so bright, they stay dancing in my eyes… Lurid autumn light, gold flames coloring the sky… And although so far away, I’ll return to them someday … and I’ll stay… Sure as coldest winter nights give way to warm days in due time… The pine and hardwood stands above, looking down below Running through my hands, the blood of the river flows And although so far away, I’ll return to them someday … and I’ll stay… But please know before I go, my dear, I love you ever more… I love you, ever more…
3.
Rain whispers softly graveside Mute and yet unrelenting (Echoes in your head, meaningless and so confused) And you hear the words spoken from a page (makes no sense at all…) Lines from an actor on the stage, curtains fall… Stand in the open doorway Breathe of the dust and shadow (and then say good bye to the ghosts that fill this room) With your hand on the lines that marked you grow (turn and walk away…) Mind on a child you used to know, yesterday… Paint spatters on the carpet Free by a careless brushstroke (Searching for a sign of what lies hidden here,) Like new skin covering those old dead scars (layered, buried deep…) Thin, and you know just where they are, underneath…

about

“Presque Vu” is a trio of drivingly melodic songs, progressive but rooted in classic rock with Celtic overtones and Gothic undercurrents.

about

Quicksilver Night Yorktown, Virginia

I jokingly refer to myself as “First Among Equals” at Quicksilver Night and, while I am deeply involved in all aspects of productions
at each step, I know that cannot do this alone. I am very grateful for the support of my song-specific collaborators and tech-savvy friends.
