"Falling Fast" (2010) Shirley Kaplan, lyrics [C#4 – D#5] BMP No. B48-10-3 ca. 5 minutes

 

FALLING FAST

the piano keys
move into space
artists think of white
between
shooting stars 
falling
              falling fast
no thoughts or times
are ever lost
but
are recalled

Melting maps
memories

the piano keys move into space
the artist thinks of white 
between
              galaxies
falling 
              falling

There are other lights
We cannot see
except perhaps
the one
dim star
that comes and goes 
              like us

Wars and lovers
Oceans hold
The edge
Stories, people
Times
Right now
Start to find their place

Melting maps     memories

The song may be performed with either solo piano or with chamber ensemble.
