Mission
(Grant D. McLeman, 2008)

Feeble tigers roam the streets
with ancient guns
and checkpoints have appeared.
The eiderdown days have gone
and meals will be thinner now.

I watch the mocking-birds flock
to see the new man.
He keeps his smile for special times.
He is smiling now.

It's time to put on a different hat
and leave by the servant's entrance.
My caravan days are back again
and I will be thinner soon.

I watch the mocking-birds flock
to see the new man.
He keeps his smile for special times.
He is smiling now.

It's time to put on a different hat
and leave by the servant's entrance.
Outside, I avoid camera jerk
with a steady hand but still
have a shaky mind.

My thoughts are a ten lane freeway
and I realise the airport's closed
I switch on my radio and wait ...

Regards,
  Steffen

Hi,

Solid composition, good lyrics, and nicely relaxed singing there Tricia.

Definitely a different (fresh) sound and feel, a very welcome one at that.

Sounds good guys...the song has some intersting textures that makes it interesting to the ear...kind of like a pop rock country thing going on...decent song.
