a 20+ year old song given new life by The Hill Toppers
lyrics
what have I been throughout my life
other than a miserable beast
and what nameless other singled me out
to sit down and join at the feast
this quality’s not human as far as I can tell
its much too noble and pure
despite my greed and selfish desire
this quality endures
what remains, what is constant
what prevails, and endures
what sustains, to this instant
what remains, in me, is yours
in spring what remains is winter’s chill
in summer, spring’s first bloom
in autumn, summer’s golden light
in winter, autumn’s perfume
what remains…
and what is there left to wake to each day
what reason to carry on
when all that’s familiar is taken away
what remains after you’re gone
what remains…

Joe is one of the most talented people I know. I am proud to call him my friend, and if you are not familiar with his work yet, its time you were! George Breakfast
