Ready for Heaven (the suicide song) <just joking> ~

it's taken a lifetime of living
to sing this song
i know how I'm feeling
may be wrong
but it all has taken
so very long
i'm ready for heaven right now

can't you see it
in the palm of your hand
traces of the garden
on this sacred land
paradise is waiting
for your command
i'm ready for heaven right now

centuries of living
have come to this
together at the edge
of the abyss
while standing in the Eden
of our wish
i'm ready for heaven right now

that's the penni/jp song. I hope you get to hear her sing it sometime. The third verse I wrote on the drive out of Texas. Co-writer thought it needed another verse, which it did. I'm not entirely sure about the reptition of "living".
I like the essense of the verse, but I'm still pondering it.

It was a shower song. My muse likes water, it seems, and singing in the shower or wherever there is water. It is pleasant, except when the hot water runs out in the middle of a verse.

As to your feeling old, you will always be Young Tom to me. That's great about the group! I would think it might make a nice change from the studies, as well. Trade in all that heavy thinking for some jamming.

It's turned nice here again. The dogwoods are really blossoming out. Ahhh, spring!
