Song for Hal

Did you hear “Forever”?
Was it playing soft and low?
It's not a song you wanna hear
If you're not ready to go

You're not alone in the bright blue air
Not alone if there's no one there at all
You're not alone if your voice is unheard
Not alone the song of the mockingbird don't last long
They appear and then they're gone
I swear where music is made
You'll be there

And as the morning light
Stretches out across the floor
Can't believe it's another day
And life goes on like it did before

You're not alone when you're on your knees
Not alone if no one sees you fall
You never took a curtain call
And you are not alone when you close your eyes
And slip into a dream that takes you to the other side
Of the songs in your head
Dizzy as a musical
Stupid songs you can't forget
Beyond pretty, beyond beautiful
Wherever the strange is on parade
Wherever the music is made
You'll be there

Did you know he is close to God
Who makes his old friends laugh?
Did you know Hal the magician?
I watched him disappear from a photograph
