You burned it to the ground
Go west
They said there’s no one
To stop you
When you’re obsessed
You burned it to the ground
Go west
the sun sets red
in a future
Where you’re a guest
Home on a range
Isn’t it strange
Go West Go west Young man Go west
You burned it to the ground
Go west Young man your crime confessed
Go west you cannot rest
Home on a range
Isn’t it strange
Go west
They said there’s no one
To stop you
When you’re the best
Go west
the sun sets red
in a future where there’s
No tears for the dead
Home on a range
Isn’t it strange
Home on a range
Isn’t it strange

It’s been a while since I’ve blown these and it’s taken a bit of time to get them where I want them to be. I think I’ve got the technique now!

But, I’m starting to regain the feeling in my hands and getting my timing back.

It’s been over 3 years and Japan is getting back to normal after COVID. This was my 2nd session back at glassblowing. It’s kinda like riding a bike, but details have to be remembered and the hands need to get back into shape. I think it’s going to take at least a couple more sessions to really start to feel “one with the glass again.”

Retrace the steps
Along the road we’ve walked
Open the doors
To the memories we’ve blocked
The passing years
As the seasons start to warm
I hide my fears
of the coming storm
You say
Time out of mind
Oh
Time left us behind
You say
Time out of mind
Oh
Time left us behind
Walk to the edge
of the swiftly rising sea
The tide is coming in
Our footprints but a memory
And in our dying breath
Last thoughts of the ones we loved
Vows promised in the past
Extinguished all too fast
