Long Road:
This piece was written as a chord chart with a simple melody notated for the horns as an in/out head.
Written by Derrick Fore, performed by Farrago Ensemble as a lose vamp, cycling thru the whole piece about 5-6 times, with designated places for solos.
'The working title of this piece was 'do-wop-ish in D'minor',..hence 'Do'.
Lyrics written and performned by Dave Morrison.

Recorded 2015

lyrics

Pools of light in the alley
Light the way back to warmth

A woman laughs, it's the echo
that you need at this moment

You'll remember crazy rain
Spinning circles in dark suburbs

Screaming out the window
"Wake up! Wake up you stupid bastards!"

Take a seat near the exit
Just pray to God know one sees you
Watch the mots trapped like flies
Angels in stained glass windows

You'll remember Father Down
looking right through you
clasping your sweaty palm
and saying, "Don't be a stranger."

When the bells call your name
turn and face the whole family

Say the words
Move in place
Fly away to Bermuda

When the weight of the mortgage
Raking leaves, just be grateful

Bad reports from the school
Yes, of course, I still love you.

Face the judge
Speak your truth
Be absolved in some manner

Drive away to an apartment
TV glow TV dinners

You'll remember
Nothing much
Who's to know
Who's to care

Empty evenings
Restless nights
with a book in the kitchen

You never believed
You have to believe
You never
You never believed
