Musically this is a completely improvised piece, Blooby on guitar an myself on dulcimer. I had the lyrics but improvised the melody.
Jam
Looking through sad eyes
amazed at how time flies
slips away so quickly
leaves me empty and reserved
if I could slip in and out
a chameleon that never doubts
instead of this that I've become
how did I grow so numb
Forgetting fast what it means
how could I have slipped
between the lines that always define
Some sort of moral code
but gray is the only color I see
and everything is too slippery to hold
Fickle is the only way
to accurately describe
but the words I choose aren't accurate
and seldom are they kind
Blunt, direct and to the point
Matter of fact I like to say
If your suit of skin is weak
Then hurtful they might be
amazed at how time flies
slips away so quickly
leaves me empty and reserved

Loved it - the intricate guitar and dulcimer and tempo changes give it a real Eastern quality that I totally dig.
MET on!

Musically this is really very Indian in nature, the rich strumming and the dulcimer sounds like a sitar. Lots of eastern scales as well - love it. A very fruitful few days - well done guys. I am extremely jealous :-)
