about

The completion of the trilogy.

lyrics

My fellow traveler
The Windy City at our backs
Up ahead the burning leaves
Blow smoke across the tracks
The reasons went unspoken
There was too much to define
But here we were again on another line

He had met a taxi dancer
That he was going to see
He asked if I might join them
In their little reverie
What comes around, he said
We could have ourselves a high old time
But his offer whispered past me
Despite it sounding so sublime
I knew that it was just another line

In my 30s I was Willard
Now in my 50s I am Kurtz
The path I chose is perilous
But that's what I will traverse
This existence may make sense to you
The planets may align
But they'll fall back into chaos
The stars will cease to shine
I'm afraid I won't be back
I'll be leaving this behind
But I'll see you on some other line

about

Benjamin Richards Atlanta, Georgia

I'm a big fan of loud rock songs, perfect pop songs and also songs of quiet experimentation. I wrote songs when I was in bands during my college days, but it wasn't until my 40s that I began writing and recording songs on my own. Thank YOU for joining me, for however long, on my own musical journey. ... more
