"Don't look too far, you can find it everywhere - but you can lose it without a warning If you grab on too tight or try to read too much into it - you know it's only musicThat song - the one you hear at night - sets you reeling. That song is just your own Heart beating, but it can sound like a symphony, tympenny,. Tinpenny. You hear a voice so clear you can't tell what it's saying well maybe you know that tune You hear might never end. I thought I heard you singing at night I had that feeling that I have heard that song Way beyond this life without beginning. Who knows the name of that song - go broke come back singing Since the world appeared - you can't write it down, it doesn't spell, it doesn't end. In the still of the night when the wind is quiet - quiet and still I sit inside the empty room and wait to hear the tune that comes stealing Through the mazes - writ on empty pages Well I know we'll never get that song quite right but still we're singing Well I know ten thousand tunes are captured there - I know. Blue sun under the clouds - the smoke of wrack and ruin Someone waits beneath the roses playing guitar - playing for me Well I don't see beyond those eyes - not too far Don't look too far you can find it everywhere but you can lose it without a warning - if you grab on too tight or try and read too much into it You know it's only music - don't try too hard - it will come to you - yes it will."lyrics by Robert Huntermusic by David FreibergSome of my favorite lyrics from my all time favorite lyricist; the "ten thousand tunes captured here" part seemed applicable here as well as just the feelings I've gotten from taking myself too seriously at times. I love mog, brings me to tears, almost/not really, in our sharing naked from the heart..."Toucan Sam" is another great song to check out from this short, simple and certainly overlooked album Grace came out with in 1973.
