SOMEWHERE 102110 - SOMEWHERE - THIS IS MY BELOVED
James Michael Taylor
“Somewhere between the stumbling and the falling…”
SOMEWHERE
G capo @ 2 - live @ 4
Somewhere between the summer and the winter
The leaves between the tree tops and the fall
Somewhere between my heart and circled letters
Somewhere between it all
Somewhere between the darkness and the dawning
Somewhere between this sweet earth and troubled sky
Somewhere between the stumble and the falling
Somewhere between it all
I’ll follow every trail that bears your footprints
I’ll follow every memory that rings true
I’ll follow every dream, every dream I dream of you
Somewhere between the midnight and the morning
Somewhere between the mourning and your smile
Somewhere between the losing and the finding, you’ll find me
Chorus
Somewhere between the darkness and the dawning
Somewhere between this sweet earth and troubled sky
Somewhere between the stumbling and the falling
You’ll find me…

Lee Snaples James Michael Taylor played this last night at Hermann Sons to close out the night and left us all stunned. He told me he's never played this one in a jam before I told him...well it wasn't repeatable because we've all been missing a great song experience. Request it next time you see him.
Absolutely beautiful!
John R. Thielges I think you bring poetry to grief; in an unique way. "Help" and hickory sticks. Thank you.
Lazarus Knight Sometimes you post a song with a link that brings up an album. I don't always listen to the full album because of the rush of life. But I'm trying to remember one of the very recent ones ... I think it (the song)_ was called "Sometime". It is so beautifully poetic and the feeling is passed along so gracefully. It is truly an expression of sweet sorrow, or more accurately, a sweet expression of the numbing pain of loss. It is the thing that my story songs just don't quite do. Lazarus Knight
Tim Tandy The mood of this song reminds me of John Denver's "Perhaps Love." He explained that he wrote it when he was no longer in a relationship but that, while there was sorrow and pain, there was also the beautiful memory of love to see him through. You've captured the bittersweetness -so different from melancholy - of the best haiku poems.
Jere Reiser Beautiful and Haunting. It is not we, who summon ghosts from the past. Rather it is we who haunt our past. It's like going back to the present. In some instances, I suffer from being the perpetrator and can't avoid picking at the scab. But that's just me.
Somewhere between the stumbling and the falling. great line JMT. Keep going.
Great,I love song.Keep up good work
Great song and lyrics....sooo soothing to listen to.
Beauitiful... simply beautiful.
Eric Swartz needs a great country song like this in his show. And...it's so true.
I'm amazed again at your dexterity for touching my heart with your songs of loss and unrequited love. After listening to this song I had to take a deep breath to regain my footing. Thanks for sharing once again with us JMT.
I like it. It has JMT written all over it. Wish you could loan me some of that ability that seems to come so easy for your brain but so hard for mine.
A very lovely and a very gentle song with a message. The words feel right. The music is soothing. Yep. This is a good one. The Woodlake Heron
Lovely lyrics and beautifully done JM.
