Name: Forever Ingenue
Duration: P00H02M36S
Description: Forever Ingénue started as a birthday poem to a friend who has always been the young-un in our circle of friends. I was really teasing her about it. But the Poem just cried out for a tune and I started playing a chord sequence and worked with Scott to fit it to the tune. He has made this a very natural no tricks-or-gimmicks ballad of incredible beauty

Forever ingénue
No matter what you do
The pages turn for you
Slower that the rest of us mere mortals
The night follows the day
The sun has slid away
To the last bright gleaming ray
In the windows and sacred portals

Is time the lasting friend
That’s with us to the end
Or does it condescend
With space in our dimension
To give us room to grow
The endless seeds to sow
The waves that come and go
Without our intervention

Forever ingénue
In life’s peculiar stew
Where all that’s old is new
An endless circle of existence
Come join hands in the dance
Be brave and take a chance
With courage to advance
With hope and love that goes the distance
