Karyn Oliver: Music

Missing (Live at The Admiral's Cup)

(Karyn Oliver)
words and music by Karyn Oliver Lehr
I played this live at The Admiral's Cup in Fells Point (Baltimore). A full band version of this song will likely end up on the CD when it's finally done.
I really don't think I want to define this tune for you. You tell ME what YOU think it's about. Seriously, sign the guestbook and let me know what you think.
Missing

There’s nothing under me, I can’t feel the ground
I am floating slowly upward, can’t make a sound
Can’t run away, cannot choose to stay
Can only watch you fade, but I can hear you say

Chorus:
Don’t stray too far - come back to me
Stay where I can see you - come back to me
Look both ways - come back to me
Please hold my hand

We like to think we know what’s coming although we are blind
We always think we know what’s right even when we’re left behind
Our world falls away, and we are left half dazed
There is no turning page, but you can hear them say
Chorus
Bridge:
What were we thinking, we let go of your hand
