about

My songwriter friend Glenn Maguire was a wonderful writer, serious and fun-loving, great performer. I was asked to write a song about him by some family members...it wrote itself... Diann Haist and Glenn were life partners, and Diann painted the cover for this CD and others...very grateful to have had them both in my life. Diann continues to paint, lives up in Alaska...www.dainnhaist.com

lyrics

MAGUIRE
©Tim Harrison and Second Avenue Songs 1999

I can still see crowded nights
As you moved towards the mikes
A cheshire cat in black beret
You came to sing your poetry - and we did listen

You sang with pride and grace
Of trials that we face
And ballads that would stir
The son of the Clydeside carpenter - with holy vision

CHORUS:

You sang “Hillhead Friday Night”
and “Rocking the Boat”
and “I Believed I Could Float Beneath A White Moon”
“Beneath A White Moon”

You would talk of celtic bards
And histories so hard
You held the giants of the past
In your palm against the blast - of our deaf time

CHORUS

I believe the only way
To take stock and celebrate
Is to double what we do
When we lose the ones like you - are you really gone?

CHORUS
