The Edge of Tedjhara
© 2005 Tracy Jane Comer and Randy Green; bonus track added for Oct. 2006 re-release
of Yellow Bike EP (formerly titled Solo Guitar & Vocals)
[Sounding key of Em; Tracy plays in standard tuning, partial "Esus" capo (covers ADG strings) at 2nd fret]
Midnight flight, fading fiery phantoms of your night
Vanquished visions and dismal dream swirling inside
Then light from unknown places trickles down in scattered pieces
And slowly reveals what time conceals
You have to know it’s there to see it, you must have dreamed it
The destination is to be almost there at the edge, where it’s all in view
Tedjhara is waiting for you
No map, no path, no guide, just a magic compass deep inside
Anticipation of true elation, the navigation you need
And you escape in time, leave those phantoms far behind
They’re just illusions, past intrusions from darker times
You have to know it’s there to see it, you must have dreamed it
The destination is to be almost there at the edge, where it’s all in view
Tedjhara is waiting for you
And you will be content to just enjoy this magic view
The paradise you gave up hope for finds its way to you
You have to know it’s there to see it, you must have dreamed it
If you look long enough you’ll find yourself at the edge, where it’s all in view
Where everything you once believed in still is true
Tedjhara is waiting for you
