lyrics

My Tiny Life

My tiny life.
Circumscribed by a moment or two of the part
of a moment when you and I start
looking further than just right in front of right here,
contained and confined by our fear
of containment, confinement, and fear
of just being just only just here
for just such a tiny time in our tiny lives.
Oh, my tiny life.

A brief interlude of bad attitude;
a short episode in a lachrymose mode;
no sooner begun than pretty much done;
my glimpse of the sun—my tiny life.

Unprepared for the limits so quickly defined
by the limits prepared by my mind,
with each thing that I’m choosing, I’m losing the rest,
forgoing the knowing of an always growing,
refining, defining collection
of things I’ve not done
with just such a tiny time for my tiny life,
my tiny life, my tiny life.

With just such a tiny time for my tiny life—
oh, my tiny life.

about

David Garland New York, New York

Composer/singer/multi-instrumentalist David Garland has been steadily shaping songs in new ways since 1980.

"Like many great songwriters before him, Garland pushes the limits of acceptable harmony and dissonance, yet never at the expense of beauty. If it's not possible for popular music to reach the heights of the great classical masters, it seems no one has told David Garland."
--Sean Lennon
