In the Raw: First attempt at home recording: You’ll Be [words by Bobba Cass, my melody]

Bobba_Cass-150x150Bobba 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
