Will you tell me what it's like up there in the sky? I want to know where the angels learn how to fly. I promised you I wouldn't cry because you said it'd be alright. but I let one slip away in the cover of the night. I want your voice again. Please.. just once more? Give me a sign So I can stop being sore. Why am I so selfish that I want you to stay here? God needs a drummer too But it's just.. that you were so near. I wish I could have fixed you and made your pain leave but I cried and blamed myself forgetting how to believe. But I don't want you to cry for me I want you happy up there. And when it's my turn to join you save me a song for us to share.

What's It Like?

An old memoriam poem for a friend that passed much too quickly. Still thinking of you Zalman, almost 10 years later.
