Requiem Improvisation #2 After Charles Lloyd – Kindred Spirits (From The Lobero)
Courtesy Mike Jurkovic
Was it that place among the stars you used to recall As if It were
Just-around-the-corner Maybe An affair Left a fracture Too sharp To heal
Quickly if-at-all Don't be tempted Follow close-by Don't ever Be Easily Dismissed
Remember You Deserve To Be Counted If not Celebrated. Was it that first time?
I only ask to be a part of what was To be part of what is / Quick / Time to change for dinner
Or Is it time for reconciliation? Accept the punishment Meant for another? Does. it matter?
I'll have the Pastrami on Rye Let's change places. You up the pace Or Not Here we go
False start He's the leader Choice is his It wasn't that long ago Remember me to all Who
Pass-on-by There are coins to toss & buckets to fill & refill
The answer should you have the resources may have left some time ago
Never settle for a walk-in-the-park When you could have a kiss-in-the-dark
