lyrics

“Sit and Wait”

by and by, gypsy dreams,
moon on water, shimmer shimmer sheens,
pitching pennies on down the hall,
the young one’s think they’ve seen it all,

how and why, the folks don’t know,
sitting and waiting feelings they don’t show,
answers are coming, in the morning mail,
the young one’s wounds might never heal,

another story line, justice evades them, time after time,
never knowing why, they sit and wait,

they sit and wait,

holding up an image so bold, deep inside afraid and cold,
tie a knot, replace a thought, the young one’s think it can be bought,

another story line, justice evades them, time after time after time,
soon they will know why, they sit and wait, they sit and wait,
they sit and wait, they sit and wait,

high and dry, the captain’s sit,
sinking what, they don’t deem fit,
but for now, the shots they call,
the young one’s know that they must fall,

another story line, justice evades them, time after time after time,
now that they know why, they sit and wait, they sit and wait,
they sit and wait, they sit and wait,

they sit and wait, they sit and wait, they sit and wait, they sit and wait,
they sit and wait, they sit and wait, they sit and wait, they sit and wait,
they sit and wait.

about

Michael Gregory Jackson Los Angeles, California

"MGJ first made waves…in New York's loft-jazz scene of the 1970s… alongside such major innovators as Oliver Lake, David Murray, and Wadada Leo Smith, he quietly laid the groundwork for much of what we take for granted in the contemporary jazz-guitar vocabulary." National Sawdust NY
