about

I wrote this years ago for a play that never surfaced. It's stuck with me.

lyrics

Golden sun, clouded chariot
Carry my heart over the waves
It's been many long years since I've seen my home
Away, my love, away
Many long years in the dark sea foam
My love, away

Hungry ears, lonesome monument
Fly my colors in the squall
I heard a bell on the Fiddler's Green
Away, my love, away
A fearsome sound where I've never seen
My love, away

Great white bird, weary wanderer
Cast my sorrows to the deep
I have no tears for to salt the earth
Away, my love, away
No tears to weigh what my life was worth
My love, away
