It seems fitting to put this song up here.  A song to anyone who's lost someone dear or is aware of their own mortality.

Also, I've been asked a few times why my album is called "For The Birds and Children".  Listen to the lyrics and it'll make more sense. 

In fact, I'll type them, I seem to be good at that.

Here comes Spring!!!

All Night

All night, all night, I hear them calling
Outside, outside, it sounds like they're humming
The song you sing when you know
You're going to die

For the birds, for the birds, the birds and children
These words, these words, I move to be near them
The sound that strong things make, when they know
They're gonna die

On my back, on my back, I am looking at the stars
Oh my god, my god, how did they get so high up there?
They shine like something shines, when it knows
It's gonna die

Come dog, come dog, let me throw you a ball, yeah!
I'm growing old, and I can't throw so well
But I hope that you don't mind, my friend
Oh, I know that you don't mind

There's a tree on my block, where the birds rest from flight
When the sun goes down on them, what a sight yeah
Goodbye to all of you my friends
May you fly for many more miles

* * * * *

Grandma, grandpa, I send you this love, yeah
This song that you can take on your voyage
Wherever you wind up my friends
I hope you have a wonderful time

Blow wind, blow wind
Blow one more time on my face, my skin
Fill my lungs with one last breath

And with it, oh I thank you
And I let go of this life
And with it, oh god I thank you

This gift.

This song to say goodbye.
