I usually get around to writing a song for my wife just before her birthday.This one looks back to the road trip we took through her country(Thailand) after our wedding. I tried to make some of the details general in a personal way and hope you enjoy whatever the images conjure.
On a recording note-some challenges of space lately took me into a closet for the vocal-I can hear the difference and don`t mind if you do.

Prayer Wheels

we left them singing
guitars sliding and haunting the dawn
where shanty children drag their wings
to the Highway of Kings

on our horizon
see them run they run my love
ghostly gleaming horses pure as thoughts
when the Father tied these knots

I would bless and honour your days
signs of a solitary road
steer the other way
when dogs are at our heels
I`ll help you turn
these prayer wheels

change the antenna
in squalor flowers of such beauty
this is your world roots in the mud
your lotus blooms above

I would bless and honour your days
signs of a solitary road
steer the other way
when dogs are at our heels
I`ll help you turn
these prayer wheels

tires spin and heal
our promise turns
prayer wheels
