Liner Notes
Lyrics by William Fuller, music (tba) Jack Hastings
Lyrics
Gazing out the window A hole in the sky A squirrel on the fence The look in my eyes A shelf full of secrets A letter from the past An extraordinary problem The question you asked
Chorus: The beautiful transformation That last ride in the car I think you would like to be here Instead of wherever you are
Life is such a dream Sleep and then you wake up If your night left you scared Put on a little extra makeup Wipe the sand from your eyes Stretch your face and your skin Change your hair, change your love Change everything you’ve been
Chorus
Comments
Evocative and spare. Sets a mood well.
This makes me think of the experience of reading old letters in clearing out a relative’s house after he lost his memory. The phrases evoke so much past, but I’ll never have the answers to what exactly they mean, so I’m left co-writing a song based on fragments.
