Off They Go

Music and Lyrics by Alastair Moock ©2017 Moockshake Music

Late night Lizard Lounge, miles of music in the round
Hold your ground in harmony, sing your songs and set them free

Bye bye, off they go, up above and down below
Listen to the rhythms run, where do songs go once they’re sung?

Open skies of melody, memory, endlessly
Everybody sings the blues once the bloom of youth is through

Bye bye off they go, up above and down below
Listen to the rhythms run, where go blooms once winter comes?

Off into the great divide
Out upon some ocean wide

Tie a note upon a string, hoping for one wondrous thing
A song, a sign from off beyond, a hook to hang our lives upon

Bye bye off we go, up above and down below
Listen to the rhythms run, where go lives once living’s done?

Bye bye, off they go, up above and down below
Listen to the rhythms run, where do songs go once they’re sung?
