lyrics

1973
©Jerry Axson

You came across the ocean -
1973...
set sail from Britain,
made a course straight for me,
they never saw you coming,
they did not know what to think,
and once you’re in the mainstream,
it’s either swim or sink...
your broken english -
translates strange imagery,
I’ve been a captive audience,
since 1973...

There is no justice -
for Art like yours and mine,
locked in eternal struggle -
a sign of these troubled times...

Los Banos, California -
a stack of worn LP’s,
I’ve been up all night, (again?),
and I have been set free,
The light of hopeless romantics,
shines down on my face,
when flesh passes through fire,
gold must surely replace...
your haunting voice -
cut deep into me,
and I will never be the same,
since 1973...

Oh, I was moved by your screen dream - satin teardrops on velvet lights,
for your pleasure in my present state - so empty here but I suppose I’m alright,
There’s a girl I used to know - lying, almost dying...
Valerie please......please......please......

Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
