Written for the late Cleveland poet and freedom fighter Daniel Thompson (1935-2004)

lyrics

You are so very glad and nice
I want to love you, love you twice
The song you write will be unsung
Im going to climb you like a ladder,
rung by rung by rung

The bell, it sounds for each of us
The bell i found inside your eyes
so damned soft to the touch

The way you love makes that bell sing
The way the bell rings makes me blush
Into the camera you stare stone
Embankments past the taker
Goes your glance in glad enchantment
Comes the Undertaker

Memories of you, there goes my mind
I wanna love you, love you kind

The song you write will be unsung
Im going to climb you like a ladder
rung by rung by rung
Im going to climb you like a ladder
rung by rung by rung
