From the recording Sipping Maples [DEMO]
Hey. We all agree these past few years have been difficult. The isolation that overstayed its welcome. The cabin fever. The relentless and inevitable introversion. Let the memories chime in and help you reconnect with old friends as your pathway out.
Lyrics
Chime in the Breeze
I know I haven’t posted in a while
There’s heaviness to the feeling
Clouds dominate the sky
A cluttered mind sent a reeling
We’ve all had lion’s shares of problems
Dealing with life one day at a time
We lose our selves, our loves, our awesome
Too distracted to see the signs
...and our anchors get left behind.
Then once in a while life brings back the memories
And sadness rings lightly like a chime in the breeze
Where did you go? I haven't seen you in years
You'll never know how much I missed you...
...or how I wished you were here.
Everybody needs a friend to lean on
Everybody needs to laugh a while
And each of us feels the strength to keep on
Even though from time to time
...it may be hard to crack a smile
But once in a while life brings back the memories
And comfort sings softly like a chime in the breeze
Where did you go? I haven't seen you in years
You'll never know how much I missed you...
...or how I wished you were here.
For all that I have that others do not.
For all of the pitfalls in which I wasn't caught.
My thankfulness flows to you.
And though some clouds must pass & return,
Hints of old times dispel our concerns
And a soft breeze still makes it through.
When I hear chimes, I’ll always think of you...
Cause once in a while life brings back the memories
Happiness rings like a chime in the breeze
Where did you go, I haven't seen you in years
You'll never know how much I missed you...
...or how I'm glad that you're here.
(Ohhhhh!)
(Glad that you're here……)
