You There?

about

In memory of my dear friend, band mate, collaborator, Jim Moran. I often called him The Pope Of Davis Square. This is a slightly refined version of an improv Dana and I did on March 19, 2023, the night after Jim's funeral.

lyrics

Are you there?
Are you standing there,
Standing like a ghost beneath the clouds over a city square?
Standing there,
I see you standing there,
all glazed over in a raincoat, by the car.
By the car....

Driving.
Driving,
lost in the light of the fall, deep in the city.
Walking.
Walking,
well past midnight, creeping into the morning.
The morning....

The dark before the dawn...
