What unexpected fun! I love how "on and on" mirrors the rhythm. And then, I like how "you and me" mirrors both the rhythm and the initial phrase, suggests a nice form, and makes for a good parallelism. I'll have to play with this at the piano and see what comes up. JT Thanks Christy! What unexpected fun!

These words came to me, I think the finished product could be slower, and country, maybe even with that weird country music phrasing. Maybe not steel guitar country, but definitely fiddle/guitar country. I'd love to make it bluegrass, but I don't think it'd make that much of a transition. Gotta be a guy singing. (Even though men die first......hmmm.) OK, this is a gruesome song about death now. Well, I am SUPPOSED to be reading the Bhagavad Gita for my guru, and I'm procrastinating....so thanks! Can you hear the natural lyrical breaks? I don't know how to write them. On and on it goes through time and pain and joy You and me in the summertime walking fast through fields down paths green groves On and on it goes through time and pain and joy You and me in the wintertime slipping now on brittle ice sparkling snow and aching bones On and on it goes through time and pain and joy You and me creeping through the dark losing grasp of familiar hands moving out of sight On and on it goes through time and pain and joy e -ter-nity a new path to see With me...

On and on
it goes
through time
and pain
and joy

You and me
in the summertime
walking fast
through fields
down paths
green groves

On and on it goes
through time
and pain
and joy

You and me
in the wintertime
slipping now
on brittle ice
sparkling snow
and aching bones

On and on
it goes
through time
and pain
and joy

You and me
creeping through the dark
losing grasp
of familiar hands
moving out
of sight

On and on it goes
through time and pain and joy
e -ter-nity
a new path to see
With me…
