lyrics

HAL KENYON
written by Dan Blakeslee

I brought some flowers to rest on your soul.

I brought you a blanket so you’d never get cold.

Your body is still but your heart is rich with laughter.

I’ll be leaving this town for awhile.

To find a better place where I can escape.

I’ll be gone long but I won’t stop thinking of you.



How long did it take you to get some relief?

I never lost interest or felt disbelief.

You’re bringing me closer to everything that I want to be.



Hal Kenyon how’s Andrew Wyeth your friend?

Is he as you remembered him then?

The blanket covers him as he’s with you.

Yes I believe I can still see your face,

For it’s memory could not be replaced.

You’re gone for now but you won’t be gone for good.



How long did it take to get where you are?

I’m tangled in mystery, and swollen in scars.

You’re bringing me closer to everything that I want to be.
