A TRICK OF THE LIGHT



"Trick of the Light stands on its own lyrically as a wonderful piece of poetry. Delicate without being saccharine, there’s a kind of vulnerability to it. It’s almost as if any wrong move or misplaced note could have sent this song tumbling into nowhere. That’s what makes it such a triumph in my eyes (or ears, as it were). Every note had to be perfect. And it is." -- Richard Rossi, Power Pop News

A Trick of the Light is a choice cut. -- John Borack, Goldmine

Lyrics

Is that your hand upon my arm
A butterfly lands – electric and light
Is that your lips upon my cheek
A hummingbird wing – suspended in flight

My eyes are disbelieving
My heart isn't even beating right . . .

Did I hear my name upon your breath
Musical word pirouette
Is it really you standing in that light
One dazzling love silhouette

My eyes are disbelieving
My heart isn't even beating right
Can you really be mine
Or is it a trick of the light?

You’re drifting out of my dreams now
Flickering in time with my heart
Is anything just what it seems?
Is this reality or just the finest art?

My eyes are disbelieving
My heart isn't even beating right
Can you really be mine
Or is it a trick of the light?
