From the recording Embers
Lyrics
Greeted at baggage claim
The start of my escape
Faces; much greeting
Food, beer, celebrating
Reminded of time passed
Between now and the last
Lives change each visit
Catching up as I sit
With the one who raised me
Still has health I see
Cat still lying around
Lighter by a pound
Bar to bar with the cousins
One-uping jokes with a grin
Hearing namesake uncle’s stories
Jungles, guns, explosives
Grandfather connects
My experience
To his time younger
Mariachi player
So many different people
Lives different than mine
Childhood artwork everywhere
Old wives tales told again
Getting older
Getting older
Getting older
Getting older
