Life On A Skipping Stone

Two inspirations for this:1.looking back on how I first managed to get myself out the door to travel, I`m struck by the support I received from my mother, who had never been anywhere herself and 2. listening to the late, great Nick Drake`s simple, repetitive lyric style.

Life On A Skipping Stone

why will you wait for answers from the stars
what do stars know of your hungry heart
that I don`t know
that I don`t know

why hesitate into the mystery you`re bound
I won`t say keep your feet on the ground
but don`t look down
don`t look down

step lightly into this magic
I hope you feel a joy I`ve never known
almost a bird just a little gravity
when things get blurred
life on a skipping stone

why will you wait for answers from the stars
what do stars know of your hungry heart
that I don`t know
that I don`t know

you`ll make some ripples find out what they`re worth
send me pictures from around this big blue earth
shimmer as you go
shimmer as you go

step lightly into this magic
I hope you feel joy I`ve never known
almost a bird just a little gravity
when things get blurred
life on a skipping stone
