Until the Trumpets is a re-imagining of an old song of mine. Back when I was more optimistic about the future, hopefully(or hopelessly) ignorant. There's that old quote; "Life sucks, then you die." Some days or years I feel that more than others. This year is one of those. It's fitting to wrap up the Axioms album with a song that ironically looks to the future which in reality is in the past now. I still do long for the trumpets.
lyrics
Take my hand in yours cause I will be around
When the clouds are rolling; the storm is coming
Love still looks the same when the earth stop turning
When walls are coming down the ocean's drying
Tell me every word, I don't want to miss a fraise
or a moment here with you my love
When will there be time for us to come
Run the mower, do the wash read the paper.
I know we'll head home when the trumpet blows
When the trumpet blows
We'll no longer dig in the dirt when the trumpets heard
When the trumpets heard
But until then or death I'll be with you
Words only last a moment but a promise lasts forever
I've got a real good one for you, you can keep it
Darlin' we've got time, I've got a plan,
I've got a moment here with you
We've got forever....
