Tears © Michael Gregory Jackson 2002 P Magicolored Music ASCAP
All Rights Reserved

once I was open, once there was clear and bright,
and I picked out a future, tried on a shirt,
that was bold in the summer's light,

on came the madness, sadness, began to creep, dismantle my life,
now I lay down in shambles, ruins all around me, ruins all around,

where will I go, no one to turn to, here on my own, no one to turn to,

tears towards the sun, towards the sun,
tears, towards the sun, towards the sun,

tears, that never were cried,
tears, the well that I keep deep inside,

once there was magic, once there was warm, and tight,
and I picked out a future, tried on a shirt,
that was bold in the summer's light,

in came destructions, seductions, began to march, dismantle my life,
now I lay here in shambles, ruins all around me, ruins, all around,

tears towards the sun, towards the sun,
tears towards the sun, towards the sun,

(solo)

tears, that never were cried,
tears, the well that I keep deep inside,

tears, that I never did cry,
tears, the well where I keep them inside,

tears, tears, tears, tears.

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
