Witches flying past on broomsticks, Black cats leaping here and there, White-robed spooks on every corner, Mournful moaning in the air, Goblins peering out of windows, Spirit-things that rap and run- But don't be scared-it's just October,
I could feel his soul in the bittersweet notes his heart poured into his hands the love he lavished on that bow his head flung back, and then he caressed that thing with a lover's touch he swayed in a dreamer's trance he stroked that bow with his head bowed low he gave us sheer romance our pulses throbbed with his every move our blood ran in slow sweet flames lord how can it be, that my soul can flee to a man with a violin if I chance to go to a million symphonies searching for that man among men I don't know his name just a kinship flame to a man with a violin I will know him when my soul takes wings and I hear him touch that bow when my blood is aflame and I hear that twang that entwines our heart and soul
That's cool. Good luck! We're fine as well, working in studio and bringing the new songs to London next week, playing two shows. Hope to see you there? :)
