a Jazz Blues written during my Berklee years; an elegy to long distance motorcycling; lyrics updated a few times since (see below)

lyrics

The crickets awaken at dusk
Horizon embers cool to gray
the engine hums while memory runs
as the leaves dance in the evening air.

Thunder and rain blast the dust and sweat
in eastern PA suddenly cold and wet
but across these tracks I see neon welcoming me
I guess I'll let it pass in front of a glass

A sapphire night under a Lucky's glow
I long for you but there's so far to go
my mind takes flight on this soft summer night
as heaven shadows the earth
