about

The music was written on the harp. Mom heard it and liked it. Shortly after that she took ill and passed away and so the lyrics were written in her honour. It was only performed like this one time at a pub in the SF bay area. Luckily, someone taped it with an old cassette deck.

lyrics

PLAYTHINGS PAST
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

Crystal light falls on the wall
I wonder if it’s there at all
Marking time, bells chime down the hall
Dreams that were given a start
Seem to to be falling apart
Loss and gain cause pain in my heart

Magical dreamlands fading away
Mist melting in the morning
Reaching with young hands into the grey
Holding to the last
Playthings past

Hopes that may never come true
Change to something brand new
Wonderous things, teachings carried through
Wishes fly on a new wing
Songs have a new voice to sing
All I’ve learned, she turned round to bring


Sailing an old ship with a new mast
Never to weigh or anchor
Old iron forged is now freshly cast
New dreams made from last
Playthings past
