Line For Lyons
by Gerry Mulligan Lyrics by Mary Ann Moore

Somewhere down the road a piece
There's a place that I know, you can feel free to blow
What ever the tune or phase of the moon
It's cool there

Every now and then I find
When the wanderlust hits, then I just gotta split
Nothing to pack, the clothes on my back will do

Getting lost is very hip; It doesn't hurt a bit
Hanging with trees and sky
That's my idea of creature comfort

If you're ever out my way
Catch a riff and we'll breeze, to whatever we please
Let's seize the day, hey, come out and play with me

2nd time repeat to bridge:

Getting lost is your best bet; Just take a tip from Chet,
Life can be very sweet, if you can learn to keep it simple

If you've got a yen to blow
In a mellower mode, down the Yellow Brick Road
I know a way, hey, come out and play with me
---Let's go and hug a tree there
---and let ourselves just be!

i tasted words few days ago with my quartet: that's right "kinda clever" you said... in a very bright mood.

many thanks again!

[guitaress1]

Sweet!

You will post a video of it soon I hope?

Best wishes!

[Tamborr]

You make me rediscover one of my favorite tunes, and moreover you give a joyful undertone to a song I (wrongly) believed to be purely melancholy. Wonderful! Your voice literally dances between or above the cool guitar chords.

Hi Pedro, Your opinion means a lot to me. :-)

I like hot jazz and cool jazz so I guess that makes my blend lukewarm jazz!
