Terashain: Music

One Door Closes

(Terashain)
2006
Penton/Hassie/Etchells/Carnicom
It can't be easy to nail a guitar solo for a song written about your late brother. Jon Anderson is the consumate professional, and a great friend. We miss you Mike, and think of you always. (Please see the "tribute" for Mike on the Bio page.)
I’ve had lots of time these last few days
Just to sit and think
Of how you’ve touched my life so many ways
And what you’ve meant to me
Now the door you have before you
Only you can go through
Ooooh, I wish you well

Some things I think that you should know
That I never got to say
Your friendship meant the world to me
And I long for one more day
Of making memories and music
Right now we all could use it
You know, this hurts like hell

And I look to the sky and I close my eyes
I can see that one door closes and another opens wide
It’s the circle we all start in
Our spirits taking part in
A fearless dance of time

It seems time is hard to find these days
And you’ll miss it if you blink
I send a message to the ones I love
And I don’t have to stop and think

And I look to the sky and I wonder why
It has to be that one door closes and another opens wide
My son will come to know you
Through the stories I hold onto
You’ll always bring a smile

And I look to the sky and I close my eyes
I can see that one door closes and another opens wide
It’s the circle we all start in
Our spirits taking part in
A fearless dance of time

I’ve had lots of time these last few days
Just to sit and think…
