Time to Come

It's been a long time since a post, but not a long time since the idea for a post has come my way from the ether. Sadly (and lamely), since these ideas have involved such things as downloading pictures from our camera, and I have done that fairly recently and have not cleared the memory chip and don't want duplicate files filling up our hard drive, I loop and loop again into a state of non-action.

So, here is my place-holder. A cheap and easy post.

In the early 90s our band had a back up singer who shall here be known as La Quekki. Among her many noteworthy attributes was a sort of bludgeon-like sexual aggressiveness that inspired the first (prosaic) line of this song. There really was a dream. There really was someone trying to push the envelope. However, there was never really any chance of any sort of "time to come" that involved La Quekki and Yours Truly.



Time to Come (1992)

I had a dream last night
and you were in it--
you held yourself right up to me and said
'come on and get it'
you said 'hey, boy'
'hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, boy'
and I said, 'yeah'

well now I must admit it was a temptation,
but let it come as no surprise or great revelation
that you really make my heart break
the way you underestimate
the time it takes just to sit and wait for the right time
time to come

bridge:
I cast my mind back through the years
and i racked my brain, trying to refind the essence of time that was gone.
And I stumbled as blind, with contempt for the day
looking over my shoulder with rose-colored glasses and frowns


even Solomon in all his glory
would never dare to shake a stick
at a morning glory--
the kind that we would just walk by
and even trample down,
the kind that we would just walk by
dreaming dreams of kings

I had a dream last night
and you were in it--
you held yourself right up to me and said
'come on and get it'
you said 'hey, boy'
'hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, boy'
and I said, 'yeah'
I said, 'yeah'
I said, 'yeah'
I said, 'yeah'
