about

This one is written in a mash-up of late 60's Pink Floyd, folk music, and with a touch of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" piano sound.

We all become our parents in the end.

lyrics

Everything
=======
Spring is waking,
There’s a flower in bloom,
You would have seen that,
You would have known.

So much of me is a mirror of you,
The things you did are the things that I do,
The path that I tread tells me only that,
You gave me everything.

All my hopes and all of my cares are the,
Sum of opinions when you were still here,
I’m certain my heart tells me true in that,
You gave me everything,
You gave me everything.

Summer is waning,
The meadow is high,
The kites fly in circles,
Watch them go by.

The sun is setting, the long day is spent,
Time marches forward without my consent,
I’ll always remember what you meant oh,
You gave me everything.

And I will pray for a light in the dark,
The hole that you left in my heart when you passed,
Giving of meaning, delivering,
You gave me everything.

So much of you is just mirrored in me,
I look in the glass and it’s you that I see,
I hear myself speaking, seeking,
You gave me everything,
You gave me everything.
