To Find Out About You
©Jerry Axson

I went to find out about you, I even went to your hometown,
all the locals had to say, was that you never come around,
I stood beneath the old shade tree, but it was cold and empty there,
I had to leave before it rained, the smell of death was in the air,

I climbed above a mountain top...
I swam across the ocean blue...
I walked between the lowest valley...
to find out about you...

There’s a hole in my precious soul, just like the one within my head,
I try to rise above it all - walking with the living dead,
everything is in the blood, which fights against the failing flesh,
you are as weak as you are strong - you must pass this test,

I climbed above a mountain top...
I swam across the ocean blue...
I walked between the lowest valley...
to find out about you...to find out about you...
to find out about you...to find out about you...

I want to know your secret name, maybe share some time with you,
speak of all my exploitations, all the things that I’ve gone through -
but you continue to elude me, yourself and this simple truth,
that we will be forever lost - burdened by the weight of proof -

I climbed above a mountain top...
I swam across the ocean blue...
I walked between the lowest valley...
to find out about you...to find out about you...
to find out about you...to find out about you...
I know you never wanted me - I live with that everyday -
You must be some kind of monster - That’s all that I have to say...

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. 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
