Counting [20220428a]
written in Laurel Canyon 2018
LYRICS
What if we could ride all the waves
What if the world was safe
for everyone we are?

Every turn we’ll ever take
For one North Star?
Counting on lightning
Counting on dreaming
Counting on sleeping
sometime soon
Counting on one plan
Counting on another hand
(and I’m still) Counting on you
What if we could live on a cloud
above the rain
where stars are the only lights
Where the wind is stable ground
and blind faith carries us through the sky?…

LYRICS
Things got strange
Sequences rearranged
Machines crashed
Systems disarrayed
Take us back, take us back
Rewind the line
To when we knew love
for the first time!…
