Name: Tuisku
Duration: P00H05M40S
Description: Wrote this on piano, a real love song... grieving over the departure of a relationship that just didn't work out. It breaks away from the verse-chorus tradition I was pretty much working, meandering like my feelings, stretching out... there's the second verse but after that there's no repeating structure, just a wandering, fading away.

Wrote this on piano, a real love song... grieving over the departure of a relationship that just didn't work out. It breaks away from the verse-chorus tradition I was pretty much working, meandering like my feelings, stretching out... there's the second verse but after that there's no repeating structure, just a wandering, fading away.

lyrics

I can hear your footsteps as they're fading away
I can't believe you're getting farther away
It's too late now and it's gettin too later
you must be to Ohio and it's gettin too later
take this with you I love you

2.
I can feel you missin in the places you've left
I can put my finger in the hole you have left
the leaves are frozen brittle on this winter day
ice is on the window and this cold winter day

you were good to me you were good for me
thank you for being when you were where I am
I'm havin my breakfast cat on my lap
I'm stoppin to think of you on your land
your cabin with paintings fine winter books
dulcimer sound in the wood
you touch things with order you speak a soft word
I can hear you from here I can hear you from here

horizontal fence lengths parallel the wide mile
beyond the yawning hill
the hogs are in the hog pen potatoes in the patch
the fog is down this morning there's a green Kentucky chill

astounding moon this morning sliver thin of light
the sun implied your yellow side the mountains I can't climb
