Story behind the song
Awhile back I ended up with Leon Russell's drum machine.
I wrote 20 songs around everything left on it and there were 9 that he arranged which are denoted by the number he saved them on the machine as being included in the title, for example (Song 01).
I also included alternate versions of those 9 songs as instrumentals.
Lyrics
Truth to your own spirit
Loved beyond the stars
We live to love you more each day
Grief is the price we pay
I had a lovers quarrel with the world.
She did it the hard way
the world was not enough
Farewell vain world Ive known enough of thee
Shall I be gone long?
Weeping for the living and the dead
that blessed angels face I now deplore
that hollow part of your chest
It takes a piece of you
Each time you pass a coffin
