lyrics

Can you see the waterfall
It's very tall
It's a place I'd like to go
The next plateau
But I'm not the first to dare
To climb up there

And I can't see the wind but I know it's blowing
And I don't know where we are or where we're going
But thanks for showing
Me the time

And they were sitting on the hill
Very still
With the flowers in their hair
Without a care
Wonder if I couldn't breathe
In ecstasy

And I can't see the wind but I know it's blowing
And I don't know where we are or where we're going
But thanks for showing
Me the time of my life

And it might sound crazy but you know it's what I want
Letting go and bursting out while staring at the sun
Forget reality, it's none of my concern
Guess you could say I'll never learn
Or return

Flaring open in the night
Skin burns bright
And the sky was tripping out
Falling down
Flirting with insanity
I'll swim upstream

about

David Thompson Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Hello there! I'm David and I write music. I'm currently in a new band called Something Dear and we'll hopefully be doing some really cool things very soon.

Over the last three years I have been held hostage by my first solo album project. The good news is that I'm really finished with it this time*, and I'll be working hard on new things from here on.

Take care!
