about

Last summer I collaborated on a telling of the story of 'Siddhartha: An Indian Tale' by Hermann Hesse. This is a song I wrote for the show at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardens, for Siddhartha's departure from the metaphorical township of Samsara.

lyrics

Oh my lover I must leave, I'm a stranger now unto me
though my riches have grown my soul has grown weary
Throwing dice once was a game, now it control's me

This world of illusion I've got to leave behind,
of dancing women and drinking too much wine
This world of Samsara, I've got to get away!
My love Kamala, I will leave when morning breaks

What pleasures we have known, the art of love you have shown me
but the songbird in my heart, will die unless it's set free
I must shed these fine clothes, and let your kiss become a memory

And this life I've led has left me stranded, broken, by the river
Once Again, It's all over...
