Vapor Trails

 

AS WE WALKED INTO A COLD NIGHT
TALKING BOUT OUR RECENT TALES
EVERY BREATH HUNG IN THE MOONLIGHT
IN VAPOR TRAILS

THEN WE TRIED SPEAKING HONESTLY
AND PULLED OFF A FEW MORE VEILS
EVEN THOSE WORDS SAT THERE FROZEN
IN VAPOR TRAILS

YOU AND I, JETLINERS IN THE SKY
TRAILING WHITE LINES WAY UP HIGH
MIGHT FEEL CONNECTED, YET EVERY TIME WE DO
IT DISAPPEARS INTO THE BLUE

YOU AND I, OUTLIERS IN THE SKY
WHO PASS EACH OTHER BY AND BY
SOMETIMES INTERFACE, BUT SEEMS LIKE WHEN WE DO
SOON ENOUGH IT FADES TO BLUE

KEPT ON WALKING THROUGH THE COLD NIGHT
AND GAZED ON THE FOG EXHALES,
ICY CLOUDS OF ALL OUR MEMORIES
IN VAPOR TRAILS

OUR VAPOR TRAILS
HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU

  3. TS: Vapor Trails is probably one of my favorite songs by you.
    Love the different instruments and mix. Great Lyrics, a little Roy Rogers tucked in there too. NICE! Well don.

    1. Hey Paulie,
      I appreciate the listen and your feedback/insights. Dave stuck with it through several mixes until the balance was just right for us both.
      Thank you,

  4. It’s a blessing of great joy to have the opportunity to work with Tom on his vast catalogue of original music. He’s a remarkably talented musician & songwriter – one driven towards excellence in the music he writes and passionately performs.

    I’m thankful, and humbled, that since the passing of Tom’s incredibly talented friend and long time, par excellence producer Wes Talbot, Tom now entrusts his music to me. Wes’ shoes are way too big to try and fill. I can only hope to maintain the high production standards Wes set over the years.

    We’re so excited about all the great music we will be producing and releasing going forward. So please stayed tuned and thank you for listening and passing along your comments.
    Peace & love.

  5. My Friend David,
    Our reconnection is one of life’s highest true blessings. As we’ve been working on my/our music together, it’s amazing how many times Wes is referenced…so much that it’s almost like we’re a current production Trio. DL, don’t sell yourself short; you are bringing very high world production standards of your own to these songs. It will be fun in the coming years to see how our seafaring charts will be drawn in.
    Tom
