WHILE I CAN

Live Performance in the studio

Song Lyrics:  I Don’t expect your Praise at all.  I’ve Struggled in silence Making this call.  But Here we sit in an Airport bar.  To say goodBye to all that we Are.  By now you all Know who I am. I’ve Always been one to Finish a plan. From Stanford’s halls to the Founder’s bell.  No one can Touch all the tales we can Tell.    But now my mind is going in actual fact.  Doctor Alzheimer’s made sure of that.  I Choose this path with No one to blame.  Before I No longer know my own Name.    Chorus:  I am Bound for the east.  To Meet the sunrise  To the Land of the alps  Where I’ll Take my own life.  Let’s Raise a glass if Love understands.  And Honor my right To deCide while I Can.  Bridge:  Yes, you could Say, he’s taking a Leap.  Every Breath’s precious, life is not Cheap.  So How can my Dad choose his own Time? Does that Right stay on Earth or is it diVine?    All the Women I loved Knew it was true  That All I had it was Given to you.  This Child of mine is my Pride fulfilled .  He travels with Me of his own free Will.    Repeat Chorus (except replace first line with “So we’re bound for the East”)
