The Lyrics

The Lyrics 

This is for Pink Floyd
who reminds me
that there is always 
a "dark side of the moon."

This is for Stevie Nicks 
who reminds me
to "stand back"
and "you can go your own way"
even if it means
 leaving love to become
something more for yourself.

This is for George Harrison
and his weeping guitar
who saw the world
"and I see the world is turning"

For The Rolling Stones
who remind me
that I won’t get everything I want
even if it’s what I think I need.

For Helen Jane Long
who plays the piano
and doesn’t sing
and says everything 
without saying anything at all.
