for David Crosby & James Raymond

lyrics

“Crossing”
(for David Crosby & James Raymond)
Music & Lyrics: January to April, 2014
Words & Music by NewK (aka John Newcott)

IST VERSE:
The light trips fantastic – engulfs a starry sky
Space between the raindrops – a void of chance gone by
An unexpected snowfall – some sudden awkward sign
All that soulful searching – for elusive peace of mind

CHORUS:
The gift in life we can’t get back is time
Fleeting moments borrowed on
An unforgiving dime

2ND VERSE :
A tale not worth telling – a sight rarely seen
The blink while you missed it – the “what could have been”
The thing that never happened – a mumbled “never mind”
A lifetime in an instant – the trace you’ll never find

CHORUS:
The gift in life we can’t get back is time
Fleeting moments borrowed on
An unforgiving – an unforgiving dime

BRIDGE:
The act of clutching at straws
A constant slamming of doors

CODA:
The gift in life we can’t get back is time
