about

Inspired by a dream, this song is an ode to my Grandmother (Safta in Hebrew) and old timers all around the globe.

lyrics

A mask of purple light follows your face
And it tells the world where you’ve been
Oh, I’ve made my mind, to follow your words
For you know the world for what it is
Up with the sun and down with the moon
Your light will never fade if you stay you
The hole in the tree
Was dug by the hand you shook with me
Down, down in sand
And up, up in smoke
The eyes in the river bed
Could see the words you spoke
The sun and the moon, the same as you
