An Interval of Repose
Kacey Roman 1974 (USA)
The answer to my questions
Are waiting somewhere for me.
They're hidden from my grasp,
Somewhere in a symphony.
The relaxing sound of altos
The elegance of the bass
The urgency of the sopranos
Transport me to a better time and place.
Soaring over the mountains
High above the earthly plane.
The peace and serenity surrounding
All those within it's domain.
