WON'T BE THE SAME

A salute to the family and friends we've loved and lost

Won't Be The Same

Oh, the time when Orion commands the back yard,

my lifeguard for one more wet winter

I shiver a wave where he wades in that river of light
that's the Milky Way

In our parkas we counted the stars in his belt

and his bow bent back taking aim

That hunter will rise in the sky again

but without you it won't be the same

Won't be the same, won't be the same...

The drone of the dragonflies madden my cat,

those angels announcing it's summer

So kite-like and frail, they sail on the currents of heat,

un petit cirque du soleil

And at dusk, in the alley, a feline so frantic

to launch himself into the fray, well that feline will jump
the horizon again, but without you it won't be the same

Won't be the same, won't be the same...

The slap of the bow

when you paddle around in the silver

your hydro-affinity puzzled the gulls

and put many a Pices to shame

Our last dance was to circle in fleece by the campfire
Like moths that are hard-wired for flame

Yes sparks will crackle and sigh again
but without you it won't be the same

Won't be the same, won't be the same...
