When I met my 2nd wife we were both turning 50. It is quite different dating when you are that age. This song is about that. I wrote it in 2006.
lyrics
For the moment everything is fine
As you read the poems that no longer rhyme
Comprehending less but never left behind
In the state where things crash to the floor
That is where you will not see me score
We have been there and there is no need for more
Elevation talks – that’s when I want you
For the moment everything is cool
I would not want to be known as the fool
Living, giving, breathing – breaking every rule
All the talking without action is ignored
Take as much from love as you can afford
In the end you’ll find your heart behind a door
Elevation talks – that’s when I want you
For the moment everything is right
An alarm has sounded but there is no need to fight
Comprehending more as we hold on tight
In a state where everything becomes aglow
Where what is learned is all that is and that I know
Then next the two of us connecting to the flow
Elevation talks – that’s when I want you
