THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #270
(Adding Prog To Your World)

Music discovery… it’s what The Progressive Tracks Show is all about.  And this week we’ll explore some artists and tracks never before played on the show.  And isn’t that why we started listening to progressive rock in the first place?  

Take time to relax, put on some headphones, and immerse yourself in some quality progressive rock.  It may well be the best part of your day.

Remember, you can access any previous Progressive Tracks Show at: http://www.progzilla.com/?s=progressive+tracks (there are well over 100 now!).

if one does nothing else, one MUST Prog On1

sometimes,
neither right nor wrong
can follow the moment
after a song
has ended

sometimes,
the air can cease to be.
our bodies co-mingle
you
and
me

when, at last
the air returns
where
will we
find ourselves?

in the echoing distance
holding on
to the fading
chords

somehow still playing
in three quarter time

in the time it takes
to realize
the limits of my senses
in silent rooms
of compromise
we speak in present tenses

losing all connection
to a past
that was uncertain
outside your window
a gaze is cast
through the pain
of Winter’s curtain

clinging
clinging
I can only cling

to fragments
of a tattered joy
when ere
you used to sing

when did it become apparent
that we were lost  in our sorrow
following trails left by tears
that we will
cry tomorrow

when did it become apparent
that we were starting to regret
the feeling of abandonment
that hasn’t
happened yet

we pay the cost
we pay the cost

we pay the cost
for being one of the lost

we are the dispossessed
lost in God’s wilderness

does someone have a flag
that we can fly?

we have lost our way
and the ability to pay

does someone have a flag
that we can fly?

a flag for me
a flag for you
a flag for dreams
that won’t come true

a flag for time
that is passing by
a flag for those
who can no longer
live the lie

we are the weak
we are strong

does someone have a flag
that we can fly?

we cannot speak
we don’t belong

does someone have a flag
that we can fly?

a flag for me
a flag for you
a flag for dreams
that won’t come true

a flag for time
that is passing by
a flag for those
who can no longer
live the lie

i used to carry a picture of you
now
you’re just somebody
I once knew

in another lifetime,
on another planet,
that circles
a distant star.

I sometimes wonder
where you are,
where you went.

you used to say
that it was meant
to be
to be

so how could I ever keep you
from flying away,
if you believed every word
that you’d say.

if somehow you could see
that it was meant
to be
to be

that it was meant
to be

I used to carry a flame for you
now, you’re just somebody
I once knew
a little about,
gathering info
before the flame
burned out.

I wanted to know
minor things about you,
like what side of your mouth
did you start on when
brushing your teeth.

soft, medium or hard
toothbrush?

I wanted to know things
you thought of as odd.

I liked knowing
those odd things about you.

I found it consoling somehow,
separating you from the masses
of people who never knew
about your tortoise shell glasses.

the ones that had
only one actual lens.
the one on the right was
just clear glass because
you said, that was your good eye.

That, I just never understood.
For, in my odd little way
I found both of them good.

oh, the odd things
I know

yet, I do not know
what is
meant
to be
to be
what is meant
to be
