Bobba Cass wrote the words to this song, and asked me to set it to music. This is the result:
You’ll Be
do you know why
the song bird’s in my heart
do you know why
the waves have set me free
do you know why
the tears no longer scald
in this I do not want to know
but be
do you know why
you linger in my thoughts
do you know why
the needle in the sea
has shimmered
into all that I have got
in this I do not want to know
but be
do you know why
I watch for you at dawn
to walk along
the seashore of my dreams
do you know why
the eagle climbs so high
in this I do not want to know
but be
do you know why
love’s journeys have to end
and careless crafts
sob listing on the lea
do you know why
our longings one day cease
in this I know
I have no want you’ll be
