Seventh track on the 'Sunburned' album, out now via Jaz Records.

lyrics

A note rots as it rings, or ages and grows sweeter.
I want this note to swell.
Until then, the light grows warm and dim in the bar,
the pen, the girl, the real ghosts,
all live in a time long gone,
time always long gone.
My head wrapped around my mind,
my mind that dredged up notes,
pulled fish aboard a boat,
the daily quota for a unique success,
producing new work while cruising past New York,
hawking brittle, golden shame.

The urge to turn away, my love,
is strong, tonight in the fog.
I sit on the balcony,
staring down at the block,
where you are invisible,
rare and beautiful shining jewel,
I will find you again.

And we are in danger,
separated for a moment.
We arrange to meet
on the beach in hard weather,
to alight on the wind.

The urge to turn away, my love,
is strong, an unforgivable sin.
Driving through traffic jams,
on this invisible night,
you are my lucky prize,
rare and beautiful shining friend,
I will find you again.

And we are in danger,
separated for a moment.
We arrange to meet
on the beach in hard weather,
to unite in the end.

I will find you again.
We don't know what we're running from, babe.
But you know who I am.

We will alight on the wind.
