Miles

You had that sound
And you knew
You had that sound
And so you did not fear
To explore the universe and
Beyond
Notes soaring from your plaintive horn
To where your spirit
Longed to go
Where your spirit now
Has gone
And if I might impose on you
One request from one kindred soul
Take me with you to that place
Where you are real real gone
