Description
Revolver spins on the turntable, throwing scratchy memories ofpsychedelic days and electric nights; a Pink Floyd and Zeppelin
sandwich on a trip to younger, dumber days (always summer)
I walk through, my legs as skinny now as they were then
The times they are a changing, constant flux, one dark star to another
Places I’ve been and people I’ve met float by, waving happily
I give all this to you, my first-born, knowing that you’ll never really
understand, or even know how to make the black discs speak
We don’t speak the same language anymore, you and I, but we love
I see you in the distance with your family, my grandchildren
I’d like to see you closer, but I live in the airwaves now of an old radio
station, playing oldies all night and watching stars blink out

The literalist in me says that nO one will ever live long enough to watch the stars switch off. I like to think that stars will blaze bright enough to light the whole galaxy before they're gone.

I meant it metaphorically. The old musicians like Brian Jones, Hendrix, Joplin et al.

I know you did, but that's never stopped my little literalist friend before and I don't expect it to do so in the future.

A single star can do that.
