lyrics

you drifted off to Sleepyland
and the children left in time
and i now
am a lonely castle's king
and the empty rooms just breath
like my queen upon the screen
TV sounds - echoing the silence in between
so i turn them off to think
and the refrigerator hums an eerie theme
as moonlight crawls along the walls calling me on...
one more day is gone

this night is mine alone
and it is only like one other one
on the island where you were
for the first time
since I ping ponged East from landing West
this Night speaks changing silence
but there's comfort in the room
I imagine voices small will stir me first
like her sister from the springtime said....
time to move...

how many days of travel
how many days to pack
what will sunrise bring me
and how long till I go back
with none to prod me on
after 10,000 one frame dreams.....
the kind that make me weak

and I will sort containers
and the chaff from grain within
Here I plan time
and time I cannot scribe or rewind
how many days lie before me
I can count those left behind from you
to you

if we cut this
on a bias will it lead us to the edge
and if ...
i close my eyes I am drifting
with a ship that has no sails
Columbus felt not quite this way
you see, he knew how to get there
but I know where to go

about

Wake Whistler And The Willowy Drover Joshua Tree, California

Here exists what became a necessary outlet for Singer Songwriter material by Blanton Ross. Many of these Tracks will never make it past the Demo phase unless recorded by another artist, and so may retain some level of childlike innocence. Some are old and simply don't fit into any of the more modern projects. Expect primarily acoustic lo-fi. Thank you for visiting and please enjoy ... more
