Thank you Jim Motavalli (host of WPKN Radio in Bridgeport, CT) for filming / posting this video from our in-studio session.( Feb, 2015) We had such a good time at that interview! This song is from our new CD, TRUST and based on Shakespeare's, King Lear.
(As requested, lyrics are below. )
Sometimes love's depth can find no words to paint the picture
properly break the silence, speak your truth or court uncertain misery.
For some it's all a battleground, reaping sorrow from mock rage
But the two of us, together we'll sing like birds...even when we're feeling caged.
As we head off it occurs to me, there are so many ways to give
Like in King Lear act 5 scene 3…so we'll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales and laugh at gilded butterflies,
And take upon's the mystery of things, as if we were God's spies
We can rail against the storm, keep the fool for company
Be sad, go mad, become a crown-less king, still it's down to you and me.
The news is like the tide with who loses and who wins.
Pacts and sects of great ones, who is out and who is in
ebb and flow by the moon while we're wandering on the Heath.
Oh that fickle changing loon with us playing underneath.
As we head out, it occurs to me, there is still time to forgive
Like in King Lear act 5 scene 3…so we'll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh at gilded butterflies,
And take upon's the mystery of things, as if we were God's spies
We are telling different tales. Secrets falling from our lips.
When our eyes are free from scales we can see what was eclipsed.
So we'll pray, and sing, and tell old tales and laugh at gilded butterflies,
And take upon's the mystery of things, as if we were God's spies
