Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #folkrock
Soul family seems to be my topic this week. I slipped in some ideas of time and distance to hit the relativity topic also. My first singing in nearly two days as I rest my voice.

Lyrics

Time is hard
To bring down to the ground
It’s like striking a cloud
With a hammer
It’s like making a wish
That moves faster than sound
And you never
Hear the answer

Here they come
Faster than light
Striking a match
On a stone
Here they come
Faster than light
Showing you
The short way home
Short way home
Short way home

You came out
Of the galaxy
And they never
Saw you coming
Only
Possibility
Like breathing
And becoming

Here they come
Faster than light
Striking a match
On a stone
Here they come
Faster than light
Showing you
The short way home
Short way home
Short way home

Here they come
Faster than light
Striking a match
On a stone
Here they come
Faster than light
Showing you
The short way home
Short way home
Short way home
Short way home

I love that image of time as striking a cloud with a hammer! It's somehow perfect. The chorus is a standout. Some great images throughout, and the melody is so singable. Great skirmish.

Nice imagery here! "Striking a cloud with a hammer". What with the galaxy reference, this could be about a wormhole - another short way home. Nice take on the skirmish.
