about

I wanted a song that evoked childhood, in honour of the majority demographic of the Nighthawk crew. For me what came to mind was the memory of playing at war with friends, but getting lost in a daydream more powerful in the midst of the game.

lyrics

The grass is growing, glowing green
I get down low and stay unseen
The game is war, and war's the game
But my daydreaming mind's aflame

I close my eyes and I leave the ground
The world's bound like a book I've found
Turn a page and forget my age
Lost in the cage of a tyrant's rage
Plan my escape with wit and charm
Skill of a sword and a steady arm

Oh the place I knew the best
Autumn's dreaming, Winter's rest
I'll return to play the game
Spring's alighting Summer's flame

about

Phillip Le Ross British Columbia

My name is Phil and I'm a singer-songwriter living on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. I'm also a husband, a father, and a municipal worker. Somewhere in between all that, I try my best to follow the inner pull that urges on the next new song. My musical interests are varied and this reflects itself in the type of songs I write. Thanks for listening! ... more
