Also called Dark Side of the Water..... LYRICS (notes below) Its been many years since I stared into the sun wondering, dreaming on the nature of the One all these long years I never found the Truth all I know is I used up all my youth Starlight on the mountain Moonlight on the dark side of the water Oh it seems t hat I was young again all I felt was that I might end I waited so many years I gave in to all my fears Starlight on the mountain Moonlight on the dark side of the water Its been many years since I was young all the tales I might yet have sung burned to ashes on one cold summer day then I flew into my mind and prayed Starlight on the mountain Moonlight on the dark side of the water Its been many years since I stared into the sun wondering why that all things were One then one day I knew that I would end then I knew Id never find that friend Starlight on the water Moonlight on the dark side of the sea NOTES This is a grand rock opera of a song usually sung more Leonard Cohen-esque; the first verse here was the original, there have been others than those here, which were improvised/inspired at the time The location is the parkade of the federal building in St Johns, Newfoundland.... normally I prefer to play under the open sky but the cold and wind and often brutal rain/sleet in St Johns led me to finding this parkade, which as you can here has some very good echo-acoustics. The date was March 23, 2012. I dont usually open up the operatic pipes like here, not in urban spaces anyway; but it was after midnight, the acoustics were great and the mood was right .... https://soundcloud/bigskookum/stared-into-the-sun-rock-opera-version-st-johns-mar-2312
