Between Here and Hopeless
Mixed feelings, bittersweet, a song not entirely sad, but rather something that is somewhere between here and... hopeless.
But a great thank you to Chidike Nwankwo for his evocative piano work and to Mariane Leon for the angelic harmonies.
You can find them both making music at AirGigs.
You better not check the news,
If you don’t want to hear,
About the latest war,
That’s been lost some where,
Somewhere between here,
And hopeless.
You could cheer me up,
If I don’t cheer you down,
We can try to trick our way
Both of us are lost
Somewhere between here,
And hopeless.
Far as I can tell,
This is where we are,
Neither here or there
We’re hung up some where
Somewhere between here,
And hopeless.
It’s great to be alive,
And dash the crazy ride,
But when the race is over
We’re still stuck some where,
Somewhere between here,
And hopeless.
I’m feeling so alone,
Wondering about you,
Would you come and meet me,
At our rendezvous,
Somewhere between here,
And hopeless.
I found my forgotten home,
On a mountain side,
Just the way I left it,
All those years ago,
Somewhere between here,
And hopeless,
Somewhere between here,
And hopeless.
