Feet Fastened Down

(Please push the HQ Button)

I dream about snow in the summer,
I dream about sky from the ground.
I promise myself to stop dreaming,
I try to keep feet fastened down.

But how can a person stop dreaming,
And how can you learn not to fly,
And how can somebody stop loving,
And how can you learn not to fly?

There are times in the dark when I reach for your hand,
There are times I remember your face,
Then I recall that you're not there at all,
And I wonder how I got to this place.

I'm looking for somewhere that's different,
Where at night I will dream beside you.
I'm trying to find some remarkable rhyme,
That will transform this black into blue.

Just give me a moment to figure,
I'm sure that there must be a way.
If I found the right words and music,
You'd be here beside me today.

There are times in the dark when I reach for your hand,
There are times I remember your face.
Then I recall that you're not here at all,
And I wonder how I got to this place.

For you I will try to stop dreaming,
For you, both feet fastened down.
For you, I will walk through fire,
For you I will stand on the ground.

For you, I will walk through fire,
For you, I will stand on the ground.

Oh friend, if you are able to do it safely, I would strongly recommend that you go. I drove four hours each way by myself, and it was well worth it. I wish I could go with you! I surely would! He is honestly better than ever!

Godspeed, Speedy. xo ~NAncy

Jesse is touring CA the first week of August. I would like to see him but have no one to go with, and it's a 4 - 5 hr drive wherever he'll be. Also a $150 night motel bill, but I'm trying. . . Love the new videos on YT - just makes me want to see him even more! Thanks about Speedy - he was my best friend for 11 years.

HEllo friend! ;) Very glad you liked my song. And no dog is "just a dog" . I've had dogs that were my very best friends! I am so sorry about your buddy....truly sorry. Thank you so much for letting me know my song touched your heart. That means a lot to me.

DId you get to see Jesse on tour? Have you found his recent vids on YT?

So good to hear from you! ;)

Nancy, this is your Jesse fan from sunny CA - this song is beautiful. I lost my dog recently and this made me cry because it is so close to how I feel - even though he was "just a dog". Your lyrics touch all forms of life. . .
