about

Over a number of years i developed a relationship with the guys who ran the legion in Wells. it took us a while to warm to each other. i eventually realized the place had a much deeper connection with me than I first thought

lyrics

WORLDS APART
V1
In upper Wells comin down the hill
The air is sweet the moments fill with warmth and gentle sound
By all accounts it’s a summer’s night –but the legion it's a different sight
It’s Christmas all year round
Colored lights on the walls and trees there in a distant glow
Take me back to a time some time ago
Chorus
When we were worlds apart in a world together
Nothing much to say
In a place for the folks who saved our world another world away
Now we’re worlds apart in a world together
Nothing left to fear
See this world a little more clearly every time I’m here

V2
When I came up here back in 94 the legion didn’t mean much more
Than a place for takeout beer
And they sized me up with a jaundiced eye – I was just some summer guy
And probably a queer
Not exactly a flying start all those hackles raised
But that was a time from a time so long ago

Chorus

Bridge
They were moments near forgotten and humorous in the main
Til another world took another spin and moved this world again

V3
There’s a flag I put out for my dad it reminded him when his health was bad
Of me he said with his usual reserve
It’s the flag I see most every day by the legion near the words that say
“In memory of all of those who served”
Memories join on a summers here upon this hill
The colored lights meet the flag and my dad and me

Last Chorus
We were worlds apart in a world together- not that much to say
He was one of those folks who saved this world another world away
Now we’re worlds apart in a world together
Nothing left to fear
See his world a little more clearly ---love my dad a little more dearly
From the colored lights on a summer’s night and the flag and the hill
