lyrics
Can you tell me what you’d like to see,
In your future,
In your dream.
Can you follow some quiet stream,
Down your mountain to the ocean.
Can you tell me how you know you’re free,
To choose your master,
To find your king.
Do you hear the song the children sing,
Do you remember it’s sweet refrain.
Can you tell me what you believe,
What colors do you choose to paint the world you see.
Can you tell me, when it’s time to leave,
Will it matter then,
What you believe.
Do you taste the days uncertainty,
Or is your anchor fast and true.
Are your legends overwhelming you,
All your heroes fallen, forgotten.
Can you tell me what you believe,
A Sunday morning paper or an evening breeze,
A God of anger,
A messenger of peace,
A universal truth,
A final sweet release,
Life forever,
Or just an endless void,
A law to justify,
Some beauty in this noise,
A force around us,
A mystery within,
A miracle of faith,
Or just some accident.

In a world where words matter, SteveT continues to ask - “what is the difference between narcissism and
poetry?”
That is unlikely to be settled here.
A round of applause please for my many gifted friends,
the Rough Edges, whose great talent and downfall is assisting me in being unable to ‘stay in my lane’....more
My favorite work of Lloyd Cole that is available on Bandcamp. Check out all of his many other albums - all the way back to '84 with the Commotions. Fantastic. SteveT & the Rough Edges
I was lucky to virtually meet Julian (of Armstrong) a number of years back. He sent me a very early copy of 'Weather'. It's great! I listen to it to cheer up after working on my own stuff...lol. SteveT & the Rough Edges
