Music Train
by Alison McKenzieThis music is a train
And I have the fare to ride!
Take me back there
For just a breath.
The sweetest déjà vu,
And there we are,
Sipping champaign -
Electric brush of your fingertips;
God, but you move me;
The notes swirling into the mix,
Etching the moment in reverie.
A place revisited
On the music train.
Take me back.
Take me back.
09/25/2004 Author's Note: My memory of native american flutes with violins, champaign and seafood brunch at a resort John and I visited. Seems like a lifetime ago. There was such sweetness on the fringes...the kind of sweet that makes me cry.
