Twilight Girl

Six or six thousand,
we will meet again.
At blazing dusk,
or quiet dawn.
On that shore... again.

This is the wait,
the weight of the world.
Comes down sweet and heavy...
Twilight Girl.

On that quiet morning,
clear, crispy light.
Seeing a movie from a distance,
mourning in front of her flight.

This is the wait,
the weight of the world.
Comes down sweet and heavy,
Twilight Girl.

She offered me her cup,
asked me to fill it up,
I said "Later, babe.
Right now we have to talk
untangle the chakra
that crosses over."

Ghost horses,
from the car ahead,
looks like engine exhaust.
Blink my eyes through bitter tears,
a smile for what we've lost.

This is the wait,
the weight of the world.
Comes down sweet and heavy...
Twilight Girl.

As an example of one of my song lyrics which I feel stands on the pages well, as straight up poetry as well.

Thanks, I've been thinking of this one a lot this last little while, thinking of my friend Candace Cadenhead.

I'm noticing, smiling with a few tears tonight, how little Candace Cadenhead changed over the years. Same smile, same bright sly intelligence in her eyes, no doubt the same laugh and humor. How I would have liked to sit with her one more time and discuss the 50 years we both saw, in different vantage points.She loved The Beatles from the start, as did I, and we saw their live show on TV in 1966. I can still remember how Candace didn't miss a beat, she screamed and pretended to faint. I know from that moment on Rock and Roll was the life for me. "Remember me, William?" "Yes, Candace, you'll never be gone as long as we... remember." I blink my eyes through bitter tears, a smile for what we've lost.

And so...

I'm going to ignore you now.
See, I'm ignoring you right now.
Watch, and I'll keep ignoring
you all day long, and into the
night, when I will keep ignoring
you in my sleep until tomorrow.

How many times are you going to belatedly thank Terry, Will?

Be careful not to thank him more times than you thanked Olga -- we wouldn't want to make her jealous.
