Here is another one of Sarah Heagy’s poems that I put music to. I was feeling a Jerry Garcia meets Bo Diddly vibe but it came out this way.
Erick Hovey

lyrics

Only the wise ones take from the road
Fill their glasses half full
Only to be told, the journey to behold
But deep in my soul I know
This garden grows upon a yacht in the sea
And only the captain’s wheel spins
To the land I long for, belong to
Save my song for

Meet me tomorrow, meet me today, meet me, in a yesterday
Meet me tomorrow, meet me today, meet me, in a yesterday

How easy is it to fall behind
When you’re staring at the path ahead
Too far from home, to matter, too slow
To lose faith, in torn earth

Meet me tomorrow, meet me today, meet me, in a yesterday
Meet me tomorrow, meet me today, meet me, in a yesterday

Cannot deny even to me
That my impression in the sand exists
Tides cannot wash you, winds cannot claim
Of night and day which am I
We are there where we appeared

Meet me tomorrow, meet me today, meet me, in a yesterday
Meet me tomorrow, meet me today, meet me, in a yesterday

about

Erick Hovey and Friends Fort Dodge, Iowa

Erick Hovey's music is peppered with seasonings of blues, roots rock, jazz, funk, old power trio rock, reggae, and newer folk fusion styles. His lyrical content has not only good humored nods towards classic blues and rock clichés’, but spans the afterlife, and existentialism as well. Sometimes it’s spooky, sometimes it’s raw, spiritual, and sensual. Think Mark Knopfler, JJ Cale, and Peter Green. ... more
