City on the Hill

Filed under: Uncategorized — Geordie Keitt @ 7:48 pm

I wrote this about Isaac Asimov, imagining what he would tell me if he was one of my buds and we were kickin’ it and he knew about this girl I had a crush on.

City on the Hill - listen
by Geordie Keitt, 1999

    Me and Isaac sift the sands of conversation seeking precious tiny words to say
    To help us try to drift on our intoxication hoping someone will be drawn our way
    Chorus

      “You got no time to sleep, there’s much too much to do
      Don’t you never wanna come down from that City on the Hill
      And you got eleven thousand bright ideas awaiting their debut
      And they’re all counting on you to count on past the fingers of what’s true.”
    You and Isaac sift the sands of conversation, never dreaming of the world outside
    You can try that gift, that sly congratulation, try to tread upon the sea of lies
    Got your feet wet, washed in with the tide
    You left no tracks though you walk side by side
    Chorus
    Bridge
      You said you got no vantage point to see yourself from
      You don’t know where to go from here
      Just lift your head and look to where you come from
      And hear Isaac whisper in your ear
    Chorus
