Parade

lyrics

Parade
words and music by Joel Pakan
© 2008 Subtle Conversation Music (ASCAP)

Memory of summer, and the marches of independence
Cold wind breaks in, proclaims the impending sentence
There’s a parade passing by my window
But the clamor is nothing to fear
So raise your glass, let’s drink,
for the time is drawing near
Raise your glass, let’s drink,
for the time is drawing near

There will be signs in the sun, signs in moon and stars
Signs in the sea, so be alert, and be on guard
Though these will not tell you the timing
They will tell you the time just the same
So raise your voice, let’s sing,
for what was once will be again
Raise your voice, let’s sing,
for what was once will come again

The moment is late, well past the hour of closing
The music has faded, the tap has ceased it’s flowing
And down the drain pipe echoes
syllables from stone, beast, and air
So raise your hands, let’s dance,
for the time is drawing near
Raise your hands, let’s dance,
for the time is drawing near

There’re shouts in the street, a maze of minds in motion
The bride-groom arrives treading
the threaded streets of devotion
And there’s a parade passing by my window
But the clamor is nothing to fear
So raise your glass, let’s drink
Raise your voice, let’s sing
Raise your hands, let’s dance,
for the time is drawing near
Come on let’s dance for the time is always here.

Tangled Blue Minneapolis, Minnesota

Since June of 2000, Aimee and Joel have been making music together. Their first CD was completed in 2003. Recorded at a farm house in Wisconsin, it is a caffeinated, folk-rock blend of songs that have shown their durability as the duo traveled with them over 500,000 miles of highways. With a new home in Minneapolis, Tangled Blue recorded "Advent" in 2008 and will finish a third project this year. ... more
