I wrote this 25 years ago before Timeless Flight was released. The Moody Blues definitely inspired me and other things going on in my life at the time. I just copied this real quick into this post so it doesn’t have all the correct capitalization and punctuation. What do you think?

A Journey Home

I travel strange and foreign lands
On a timeless flight through far-off clouds
Across distant shores and dark grey skies
I search deep blue waters where only beauty lies
For peace in my heart, for a place called home

Home is family filled with warmth and love
The graceful flight of a gliding white dove
The look of sadness in a stranger’s eye
The far away light where the ocean meets sky
Home is hope staring at the stars above

As a stumble along this crazy life
Through times of triumph and days of strife
I dream of a place captured in time long ago
Where the sun always shines and the moon always glows……….
Where childhood days are care-free and blithe

Through forests and fields I still roam
In search of a flower I have not yet known
But my memory keep returning to those simpler times
When I was so young and school bells chimed……..
And I would run as a child to a place called home…………..

And I search like a child for a place called home.

Love is the warmth of the summer sun.
Two lovers together when the day is done.
Two bodies touching in the midnight hour.
Love is in the heart like a blooming flower.
Where do I go when there is none?

To icicles hanging from snow covered trees?
Look a little closer and what do I see?
How a drop from the crystal waterfall
melts at the break of day,
Turn and look again, do you see me?

Tears like rain drops falling,
the golden sunlight of a new dawning;
I wonder what the future holds
and all the stories that will be told
when at last I find my calling?

Will I find love in all these colors?
Can I find love in the hearts of my brothers?
Can love be so kind?
Or only exist in one’s mind?……..
Oh, why can’t we find love in each other?

I’m going to go with “The Last Resort” off of The Eagles, Hotel California Album. May be the most unknown song on the album, but may be their best song of all time. About the slow destruction of The American Landscape and the American Dream. The song is just brilliant! What is yours?

I know we discussed this track from their studio album December on another Moody Blues thread , but what do you think of this rare live performance? I saw them sing this live back in 2003 and thought it sounded much better than the studio track from December. What do you think?
