Song of the day- Atlas Hands
It was my dear friend Blake's birthday the other day and thinking of him comes hand in hand with missing playing music with him. I had never heard today's song till Blake played it for me on one of the last nights we lived in the same town. It was such a sweet, observant, protective lullaby that was the mirror image of my friend. It was one of the last songs we ever played together and when I missed him and playing music and my other lives far away and gone I would listen to a little recording I kept that my iphone evilly deleted. And though I think Blake's version is the best, if you are missing someones or something you once were, this one's for you.
Take me to the docks, there's a ship without a name there
And it is sailing to the middle of the sea
The water there is deeper than anything you've ever seen
Jump right in and swim until you're free
I will remember your face
'Cause I am still in love with that place
But when the stars are the only things we share
Will you be there?
Money came like rain to your hands while you were waiting
For that cold long promise to appear
People in the churches started singing above their hands
They say, "My God is a good God and He cares"
I will remember your face
'Cause I am still in love with that place
When the stars are the only things we share
Will you be there?
I've got a plan, I've got an atlas in my hands
I'm gonna turn when I listen to the lessons I've learned
I've got a plan, I've got an atlas in my hands
I'm gonna turn when I listen to the lessons I've learned
