about
"Ballads in the Sky" is an outstretched hand, through the heart of loss, in hopes of contact to the other side. To Al's grandma (and everyone else we love and miss) up in the sky, thanks for saying hi in all the ways you do.
lyrics
“But you know,
Played for myself mainly.
If anyone needs a piano player, I’m here.” - Connie Wilkening (08/26/1937 - 10/14/2021)
Eyes close
To never open again
Thoughts stop
Without knowing when
It’s a ticking time bomb
Life’s short life’s long
Deal the cards
And shoot for the stars
I try to find you
In the sonic radio
Like a sign
Oh I don’t know
No I don’t know why
Stay home
Hide yourself from the truth
Sleep well
Be one of the few
Look left look right
Say hi and bye
Gone too soon
So shoot for the moon
I try to find you
In the sonic radio
Like a sign
Oh I don’t know
No I don’t know why
Do you hear me
When I whisper
Hello & I hope that you’re fine
Way up there
Playing ballads in the sky
I hear the sound
I close my eyes
And swear it’s you
In song disguise
To change the mood
Erase goodbyes
I try to find you
In the sonic radio
Like a sign
Oh I don’t know
No I don’t know why
Do you hear me
When I whisper
Hello & I hope you’re fine
Way up there
Playing ballads in the sky
Playing ballads in the sky
Played for myself mainly.
If anyone needs a piano player, I’m here.” - Connie Wilkening (08/26/1937 - 10/14/2021)
