Cobalt Blue (Lyric & Music: John A. Walsh)

True love lost…who can count the cost? It’s a price no one could pay.

So fine & rare is the beauty there it’ll take your breath away.

There are moments, tucked away like petals in the pages…

When stumbled on, you’ll dwell upon the remnants of their fragrance

Like a cover of clouds in the midnight sky, backlit by the moon,

Just drift on by as dawn arrives…

And charcoal gray gives way to Cobalt Blue

A phantom flies into the mind’s eye – through the reverie it takes us.

And it’s all good; and all the edges smooth as if the past were painless.

Now I’m old enough to “remember when” and I’m still young enough to dream.

But I know aspirations can often outlast my motivation & ability.

Like a cover of clouds in the midnight sky, backlit by the moon,

Just drift on by as dawn arrives…

And charcoal gray gives way to Cobalt Blue

Hard to say, harder to know where it all comes from, where it all goes.

You have to step back so lessons are learned…

But look past the point and it’s bound to burn.

Like a cover of clouds in the midnight sky, backlit by the moon,

Just drift on by as dawn arrives…

And charcoal gray gives way to Cobalt Blue

Wrecking Ball (Lyric & Music: John A. Walsh)

Standing in the middle of his life, trying to catch his breath

Is this all he’s meant to be?

Where’s this path of destiny unwinding?”

So he sets out to instigate a change,

The tension wrenching fractures in the grain.

Here comes the wrecking ball, slicing air -- no sound at all

Taking down every brick and wall and plan you ever laid.

Into thin air years have disappeared, gone without a trace

It seems he just lost track of time

Grain by grain the sand slipped by unnoticed.

But age crept in and left its evidence…

He’s determined to reclaim what’s now past tense.

Look out for the wrecking ball

Slicing air -- no sound at all

Taking down every brick and wall

And plan you ever laid.

There are indelible stains

That can turn tears of joy into rain.

Set it free just like they say --

But watch it close as it drifts away…

Cause once it’s gone, it won’t come back the same.

Here comes the wrecking ball, slicing air -- no sound at all

Taking down every brick and wall and plan you ever laid.
