The Songs That We Played

It’s so easy to get lost in all The thoughts of things we miss As I go online for the hundredth time My heart’s a closing fist But when I look to see the ways That people seem to spend their days There seems to be a growing tide Of people needing time outside to be And the songs that we played Sing of all that needs to stay Places where the past will shine Crystal fragments set in time That stirred the soul and rocked your heart That place in time which memory replays You’re never parting ways It’s so easy to get lost in sites That find you making lists Of all the joys that music brings Those perfect states of bliss That little child down by the creek Settled in with fishing rod Flowing stream, some gentle dreams And music glowing out of tiny pods And the songs that she played Sing of threads that can’t be frayed Places where the past can shine Crystal moments cast through time Lying there, your mother’s rug Songs of light, no Covid bugs today You’re never parting ways We’re in this together, right! It’s so easy to get lost in all The thoughts of things we miss As I go online for the millionth time I feel a rising mist All the time we spent with sonic toys Gigs and tours with all the boys Setlists written to ignore And crowds left always wanting more to hear And the songs that we played Sing of all that must return Places where the past sublime Rockets here to help us learn Today To flick the switch, to hit the start To fill the hole and rock the heart Never take for granted now The magic way songs show us how to live And what we need to give And what we need to give And what we need to give
