From the recording Grand White Silk
Lyrics
The Opening
He waited in there, till he saw it, or felt it, the light
Then he took his one shot and went for the opening, the opening
I waited in there, back then, till I found my way to the light
Where did this magic compass go that once led me to the opening, the opening
Strange this gift of life that we are thrown into
I wish I could I remember what it’s like when everything is new
Seems none of us can, must be an instinct to forget
Yet, what I don’t remember, won’t leave me be like that
It’s not even a feeling, more a shiver, or a shade
Or a memory of a memory, the faint sound of a parade marching towards…
The Opening
A new light that shines on the right thing
A moment where everything is changing
Where we do what we do without hesitating
And only when it’s over you know
You just went through the opening
I’m waiting these days for somebody to show me the light
A waste of time, I know, there is no one there to take me to the opening, the opening
I’m hating choices these days, they stand between me and the light
A waste of energy, I know, there is no way around them to the opening, the opening
Strange this gift of life that we must grow into
I wish I could I remember what it’s like when everything is new
Seems none of us can, must be an instinct to forget
Yet, what I don’t remember, won’t leave me be like that
It’s not even a feeling, more a shiver, or a shade
Or a memory of a memory, the faint sound of a parade marching towards...
The opening
A new light that shines on the right thing
A moment where everything is changing
Where we do what we do without hesitating
And only when it’s over you know
You just went through
The opening, the opening
The opening, the opening
