about

Arrivals & Departures
A Narrative about the cycle of life.
It looks like an eternity but it’s a short trip

lyrics

Arrivals & Departures

Come first light another soul is born
Through screams of pain & joy
Into this world were thrown
Arrivals & departures & postcards in between
Life as we know it is only a dream

Well you come out of the womb unto your mother’s breast
Tears fill the room as you enter the nest
Someone else is dying their body laid to rest
The sun rises in the east & sets in the west

You crawl around in wonder at all the colours of the rainbow
No worry to ponder & no place to go
You take your first step & utter your first word
You’re as fresh as a daisy as free as a bird

Arrivals & departures & postcards in between
You and I are passengers and life my friend
Is only a dream

Well you done all your schooling
Hard working times ahead
Providing for your family
Learning how to make bread

Take some snapshots at the milestones
Instead of just getting by
Were all learning to live & preparing to die

So you done raised a family & they’re all grown
They follow in your footsteps
From the seeds you have sown
Well they look after you & it’s your turn to rest
The sun rises in the east & sets in the west

Arrivals & departures & postcards in between
You and I are passengers and life my friend
Is only a dream

When your dearly beloved catch that final train
Memories come flooding through just to ease the pain
You’ll be grieving & you’ll be weeping
Tears will be rolling down your face
We’re all on our own journey & they’ve left this place

When the hand of God strikes your last chord &
You’re being wheeled through some hospital ward
The day will come when your done & you’ll head towards the sky
When it’s the end of the game & it’s your turn to die

Arrivals & departures & postcards in between
You and I are passengers and life my friend
Is only a dream
