about

This song is essentially a bittersweet tribute to "what could have been" ... when you are too afraid to take the risk even when the promise and opportunity are right there in front of you. Opportunities of great love and great dreams are like the undulating waves of a calm ocean, always fluid despite its stillness. Never making a move risks the waves sending your destiny back out to sea... "nothing's really happened, but everything has changed".

lyrics

Song For My Cowboy (c) Monica Uhm 2000, 2020

I suppose these lines were drawn before my time
the way that air meets land through eternity
And I suppose that you and I will waltz a perfect line
You’re always there but never a part of me
So I watch a hero fade
A cowboy rides on the edge of the world
he’s been riding on for days
Hoping to remember where the mountains rise; To feel amazed,
nothing’s really happened but nothing feels the same

No-one hears the avalanche of war
the way that soul fights flesh through eternity
In silence grew bitterness
the drama played without an audience
So I watch the moonlight fade
a love song hangs on the thread of a word
its been holding on for days
Hoping to remember how an eagle flies; to feel amazed
Nothing’s really happened but everything has changed

What never starts can never end
and what’s never seen easily pretends
that destiny is ripe for living
but just not today
cause once you live it up its hard to live it down
there’s a chance that we’ll break
nothing’s really happened so everything has
changed

I suppose I could have opened up the blinds
to give some light and breath to this heart of mine
in silence grew some tenderness
but kept in chains in self defense

So I watch you fade away
A love song died in the cold in the night
There was nothing left to say
Cause no-one could remember when or how or why
we had once felt amazed
Nothing ever happened but nothing feels the same
Nothing ever happened so everything had changed
Nothing ever happened so nothing’s here today
