	Story Behind the Song I wrote the basic music for this song years ago in New Orleans. The lyrics were seriously reworked in my Arizona desert studio. It has a stronger allusion to the creative process and stuff that is difficult to put into words. The recording is quite org anic with no programming. After several tries, I found the percussion and samples to create the basic canvas. Then the "guitar painters" started adding all of the colors. First, Dave found the jazzy figure that is played with a clean Strat sound. H e sparked the ending with what he called his George Benson style playing. Brian then added the beautiful smooth sustained solos.tÊ Lyrics Take a look out through my window Tell me what there is to see today I am blind unless you speak to me About the words of William Shakespeare About the ways of Buddha About hidden temples carved in stone In the city of ancient Petra Dance with me under t he stage lights Your silhouette is like Tchaikovsky's swan I can't move unless you lead the way In time to Coltrane's Love Supreme And Jobim's bossa novas In time to all the sacred chants From the heights of the Himalayas (Chorus) Inspiration is a pract i ced thing Fantasy on the prowl In the shower it makes you sing sing sing Then it's gone with a dampened towel Illuminate the shadows of my soul Help me feel the pulse that joins our hearts Let's write songs that speak in every tongue About connection s to our past About the unknown future About the ways to love this earth Strong like the raging river (Chorus) (Ending) walk the wilds and improvise fantasy and quiet steps imagination for snow drift days Á
