Story behind the song
Awhile back I ended up with Leon Russell's drum machine. I wrote 20 songs around everything left on it and there were 9 that he arranged which are denoted by the number he saved them on the machine as being included in the title, for example (Song 01). I also included alternate versions of those 9 songs as instrumentals.
Lyrics
When the darkness came for an eternal night time Stealing everything from my forever empty heart The stars that once dotted the sky of space and time in this place and time Remind me of my missing counterpart You took my heart an ran down the highway It will haunt me til the day I die Love is just a memory of by gone days The hymns of the years gone by. I wonder If this is how it must always be The endless sleepless dreamless nights The music still ringing in my head Echos of all the time I shared with you When I think back to the beginning Anything you could imagine seemed a possibility But not it seems back dated and faded fated Is this my only solace the memories of melodies In a park beside the water were we met Where the lost highways no longer go You first took my hand The crows sang the of legends of the ages of old Of all that came and went an will be dreams in the city of rain To the wind our earthly remains In the memories of melodies and a river of tearstains
