Daily Lyric: ONE MORE SONG

One more song to round out this week

One more song to find the peace that I seek

One more song to reach the cycle’s end

One more song is on what it all depends.

One more song before I start the day

One more song before I’m on my way

One more song to close out this long phase

One more song to burn through this haze.

One more song before it’s time to go

One more song to encourage the flow

One more song is all I have to sing

One more song to see what the future brings.

One more song in memory of the girl

One more song to bring harmony to her world

One more song in honor of my brother

One more song remains to be uncovered.

One more song for the summer on the shore

One more song, followed by many more

One more song for the plowed-over fields

One more song for the city’s wounds to heal.

One more song into the atmosphere

One more song to conquer all the fears

One more song before the night is through

One more song to filter the false from the true.

One more song before the end of the page

One more song before the band leaves the stage

One more song for apathy to become love

One more song from below to above.

One more song to close out the week

One more song to find the truth that I seek

One more song to reach the story’s end

One more song is on what it all depends.

One more song to round out the set list ...

Sometimes, we just need one more gesture, a flourish before we can call our efforts complete. Other times we don't want the show to be over and we don't want to go home, so we call for another song to push off the inevitable just a little bit longer.


I wrote this song in 2000, during a writing spell in which I'd go down to Atlantic Highlands harbor, with its view of Lower New York Bay, and write a song per day during my lunch break. It was probably a Friday and I needed one more before I could call it a successful week. I need to do that sort of thing again.


I thought, for awhile, to include this in the Soul In Exile canon and place it just before the last song on the last album, but I decided against it and so it remains an outtake. Maybe one day I'll set it to music and record it.
