When my body won’t hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south through Georgia grain?
Or tropical rain?
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue?
Or run into a savior true?
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night, straight to the light
Holding the love I’ve known in my life
And no hard feelings
I'm living proof he was a tolerant man.

ReplyDeleteDang!! What a GREAT Song! Searched Ebay and Amazon for a CD. Nailed it.
ReplyDeleteOl' Remus and now Gerard. Getting bleak on the wundernet
ReplyDeleteYes it is. Still a few good ones left but Gerard just kind of set himself apart.
DeleteNever met him, but appreciated his musings. We all have to pass through the curtain, his words above are a good picture to hold onto for the transition. RIP and condolences to his family.
ReplyDeleteA sad day. I'll certainly miss him.
ReplyDeleteHappy trails.
ReplyDeleteAlready departed, and still leaves us with this.
ReplyDeleteMy one sure stop in the morning. Always enlightening.
ReplyDeleteHim and Ole Remus will be forever remembered in my heart. Gerard was a beautiful writer.
