Closer to the Light
04:39
|
|||
It’s only temporary
Staring at the same four walls
There’s something calling
Deep inside the radio
Closer, closer, closer, closer to the light
Closer, closer, closer, closer to the light
Closer, closer, closer, closer to the light
Closer, closer, closer, closer to the light
I’m falling, falling
Falling, I’m falling
Falling, I’m falling……
Down
An exodus, a camera
Seeing things through other eyes
Without a phone
To know each other as we are
Closer, closer, closer, closer to the light
Closer, closer, closer, closer to the light
Closer, closer, closer, closer to the light
Closer, closer, closer, closer to the light
I’m falling, falling
Falling, I’m falling
Falling, I’m falling…..
Down
Down, worn and busted
Can love save me again?
The only must have
Is light coming in
There’s something calling
Deep inside the radio

Talking About Love
03:15
|

There you go always talkin’ ‘bout love
There you go always talkin’, always talkin’
There you go always talkin’ ‘bout love
There you go always talkin’, always talkin’
You could say that it’s all an illusion
You could take it from outta my mind
Nobody could love me better
You’re the moon in my starlit sky, starlit night
There you go always talkin, always talkin’ ‘bout love
There you go always talkin, always talkin’ ‘bout love
You could say that it’s all an illusion
You could take it from outta my mind
Nobody could love me better
Tonight
You could say that it’s all an illusion
You could take it from outta my mind
Nobody could love me better
You’re the moon in my starlit sky, starlit night
I can say…..it’s no illusion (repeat)

Here and There
04:03
|

Slowly the twinkle is leaving those eyes
Somber days the overture of the times
The moment you notice it’s already gone
I’m afraid to notice who’s driving this train
I know I’m falling in love with this feeling that’s here and there
Believe it
It might just get you by sometime
Believe it
It might just get you by sometime
Believe it
It might just get you by sometime
Starlight…..you’re my starlight (repeat)
Slowly the twinkle is leaving those eyes
Somber days the overture of the times
The moment you notice it’s already gone
I’m afraid to notice who’s driving this train
I know I’m falling in love with this feeling that’s here and there

Sirens
03:58
|
|||
If there is anything louder what kind of sound would it make
The sirens watching the tide rushing in
How many times does it take, how many times does it take
Heroes to remind us, let go
Our subconscious minds know why
The sweet singing on the red sea leads you right to the edge
The sirens watching are breaking us in
How many signs does it take, how many signs does it take
Heroes to remind us, let go
Our subconscious minds know why
Lead us…….lead us home
If you get caught in the river, take what it gives
Heroes to remind us, let go
Our subconscious minds know why
Heroes to remind us, let go
Our subconscious minds know why
Heroes to remind us, let go
Our subconscious guides us home

Looking Glass
03:54
|
|||
I know, I know what you want me to say but I don’t know if I can say it
I know, I know what you want me to be but I don’t know if I can be it
I know, I know what you want me to do but I don’t know if I can do it
I guess that there’s always tomorrow, when things begin again
It passed through the looking glass…. it’s gone, gone, gone, long gone
It passed through the looking glass….it’s gone
Don’t run away there’s a price to be paid, it’ll come back to find you again
So many of us running in circles to find out what’s lying within
Life is so pretty like a beautiful city with its lights climbing up to the moon
High rising wild fire burns what it needs to renew
It passed through the looking glass….it’s gone, gone, gone, long gone
It passed through the looking glass….it’s gone
Dust is to dust, it’s a proud man who prays
The guns are all out and we’re running out of breath
We lost it somewhere on a forgotten highway
Telling the devil they’re wrong (3x)
It passed through the looking glass….it’s gone, gone, gone, long gone
It passed through the looking glass….it’s gone
Bridge (instrumental)
It passed through the looking glass….it’s gone, gone, gone, long gone

Mountain
05:44
|

Can anybody see through the mountain?
Can anybody see what’s there?
Can anybody see through the mountain?
Can anybody see what’s there?
Wounded by the takers who wanted what was in their heads
Look over the ridge and you will see them sleeping in their beds
….that they leave behind (2x)
Can anybody see through the mountain?
Can anybody see what’s there?
Can anybody see through the mountain?
Can anybody see what’s there?
If you only see, what you want to see
That’s an easy way to get lost
Chopping down the tree but not because it’s in their way
It will keep the family warm for 100 days
….nothing left behind (2x)
Can anybody see through the mountain?
Can anybody see what’s there?
Can anybody see through the mountain?
Can anybody see what’s there?
If you only see, what you want to see
That’s an easy way to get lost
Can anybody see through the mountain?
Can anybody see what’s there?
Can anybody see through the mountain?
Can anybody see what’s there?

Coffee in Bed
02:53
|

Calm breeze, sun on her face
I bring her some coffee, she wants me to stay
Not in a long time has anyone said
You must be waiting for coffee in bed
Give me your love tonight
It’s easy we’ve got nothing but time
Memories cast the great ones
Calm breeze, sun on her face
I bring her some coffee, she wants me to stay
Not in a long time has anyone said
You must be waiting for coffee in bed
Where the beach ends and it begins
There’s a little place that we can go
Calm breeze, sun on her face
I bring her some coffee, she wants me to stay
Not in a long time has anyone said
You must be waiting for coffee in bed

Big River
03:49
|
|||
Big river take me home tonight
Big river take me home
Big river take me home tonight, yeah
Big river take me home
Whatever it is I’m thinking about you again
Now that you know I guess I can crawl out of bed
Big river take me home tonight
Big river take me home
Big river take me home tonight, yeah
Big river take me home
I must admit I have trouble thinking I’m good
A doctor could save me but I’d much rather know if you would
I can still smell you on the blanket you left… you are still alive
I see your eyes
Big river take me home tonight
Big river take me home
Big river take me home tonight, yeah
I’m shivering down to my bones
Say something
When no one’s looking
I know we’ll meet again
It’s good to know that you are never leaving
You will be with me all my years
Big river take me home tonight
Big river take me home
Big river take me home tonight, yeah
Big river take me home

Clouds and Lightning
05:06
|
|||
There’s a place you know
Looks the same as all the other windows
After burn of the times
Hold it there, suspended like a wind chime
Talk slow, it’s me you’re looking for
Why are you trying to be so strong
Resting clouds , resting angel
There’s a story she’s trying to tell
And then they’re gone, crimson angels And your ego wants to fly
Our ego wants to fly
Our ego wants to fly into the pain
Just leave it on surrender, leave it on surrender…
It’s easy now, when it comes
Separate the heroes from the villains
Higher than the clouds
The offering to guide you on the way out
Talk slow, it’s me you’re looking for
Why are you trying to be so strong
Resting clouds, resting angel
There’s a story she’s trying to tell
And then they’re gone, crimson angels
And your ego wants to fly
Our ego wants to fly
Our ego wants to fly into the pain
Just leave it on surrender, leave it on surrender…
Leave me be, I want to feel the lightning
Let me be, I want to see the lightning

David Gergen Los Angeles, California
I write and record music by myself in my studio in Los Angeles. Sometimes they are songs, other times they are experimental instrumental tracks. Whatever the outcome may be, I am always recording.
