Minuano (Vocal Version)

Minuano Music by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays Lyric by Kurt Elling Originally titled "Minuano (Six Eight)" from the 1987 recording Still Life (Talking) Day comes slowly - absorbing the darknesses softly. Night leaves gently - her beauty is spent, and she rises. I step into the lightness - I hear you. You're calling me out of my sadness. Your flowering wonders are calling me home. Darkness lingers - but always surrenders to loving. Darkest midnight - is swallowed in oceans of laughter. I follow into lightness - I hear you. You're calling me out of my sadness. Your flowering wonders are calling me home. Dancing along a dawn that leads to you - Singing a song that blossoms in a fugue as morning settles on Dreaming into a sky of brilliant blue - Noticing clouds are whispering that you will dance with me very soon Already been as high as Kathmandu - `Willing to go as far as Timbuktu Nowhere's too far away - I may catch up with you today - maybe today will finally be the day Flying along a dawn that leads to you - Singing a song that makes itself anew - a music magic wand Reaching into a sky of brilliant blue - eagles are calling out to say the you will dance me very soon Already been as high as Kathmandu - Willing to go as far a Timbuktu Nowhere's too far away - I may catch up with you today - maybe today we'll make our getaway! Like light from the stars made ten thousand years ago - comes love, like a gift of sight Growing stronger every moment on the way home.
