For Cynthia

For Cynthia

A tender love ballad, written in E tuning, 5/7/79 at I-A Juri St in San Franciso…

The world outside our window is all hushed and shadowed,
A siren song trails away.
Another page is written, on the journey taken,
And with a sigh I turn to you.


And I put my arms around you
As I have each night for years,
with whispered love and grateful tears.


All around are stories, tragedies and glories,
Romances and loves’ labor lost.
Day by day we’re giving
A love full of living-
One that flows and grows and lasts.


And I put my arms around you,
As I will for all our years,
And whisper love -
For Cynthia,
For Cynthia…
