Older musicians tend to have well stocked memory-shelves,
and can always find subjects to write about.

We are each and every one of us eye witnesses to the
unfolding of history.

Make that ENTANGLED eye witnesses!

Anyway, here is a rock ballad about coming of age in
the mid 1960s to early 1970s, and how—as the French say:

“The more it changes the more it stays the same.”

Be well my friends!

TIME CAPSULE

I
With these eyes 
I watched 
as men walked on the moon.
I saw Berkeley students rioting;
—-Uri Geller bending spoons.
Mini-skirts and Granny dresses,
—both were in full bloom.
Saturday morning cartoons played
while the Atomic War threat  loomed.

CHORUS:
Memories 
of days gone by.
Some of them make me smile;
while others make me cry.
They flash before my mind
like pictures on a screen.
As I sit rapt in wonder at
 what a long strange trip its been…

II
With these eyes
I watched as
men returned from the war.
Some came back in pieces,
others hollow to the core.
The rhetoric of glory.
The reality of gore.
The Doves they marched for peace,
while the Hawks cried out for more!

CHORUS:
Memories 
of days gone by.
Some of them make me smile;
while others make me cry.
They flash before my mind
like pictures on a screen.
As I sit rapt in wonder at
what a long strange trip its been…

Bridge:
Stare down the darkness!
Stand in the light!
Turn from the wrong,
and fight for the right!
 
Draw a line in the sand.
Put evil on the run.
Never give up,
until the battle’s won!

III
I’ve seen this crazy world
convulse and twist and turn.
There’s a lesson in it all
that so few seem to learn.
Folk tend to reap just what they sow,
and collect the pay they’ve earned.
—Their path winds ever downward
till they wake up and turn!

CHORUS:
Memories 
of days gone by.
Some of them make me smile;
while others make me cry.
They flash before my mind
like pictures on a screen.
As I sit rapt in wonder at
what a long strange trip its been…
