"Will o' the Wisp" by Jillian Aversa & Christoper Tin - LYRICS
Among the sighs of stirring leaves,
The cloak of evening stillness shed,
A phantom light that turns and weaves
Descends upon the path ahead.
And all my faith resides
In that distant flame.
My joy, my grief, my life
Is a spirit's game.
With one whisper, you draw me
Into the dark of night.
And I know
That I've lost my passage home.
But one breath, and I'm falling
Into your light,
And I find myself alone.
Now with each dream of breaking free,
I feel it vanish like a wave.
But every tide will reach the sea,
And every sorrow find its grave.
So I can't help but come
When you call my name.
My hope, my fears, are one
In your spirit game.
With one whisper, you draw me
Into the dark of night.
And I know
That I've lost my passage home.
But one breath, and I'm falling
Into your light,
And I find myself alone.
This soul of changing fire -
O, seer of whole desire,
I long to know what you know.
Into the deepest hollow
Or over the mounts to follow,
I'll go wherever you go.
With one whisper, you draw me
Into the dark of night.
And I know
That I've lost my passage home.
But one breath, and I'm falling
Into your light,
And I find myself alone

"Shadows" LYRICS
Figures moving under the rain...
I see glowing streetlights, blurring the pain.
Children on the corner,
Staring as I drive away,
Hand prints on the window -
They all fade to gray.
Have you ever seen a shadow?
Have you ever known what they know?
Have you ever seen a shadow,
And left one behind?
Shifting, changing, never the same,
And the cold wind wonders how they became.
Wishing for an answer,
Hoping one day it'll change,
Praying for the flesh and the blood to fill them.
Have you ever seen a shadow?
Have you ever known what they know?
Have you ever seen a shadow,
And left one behind?

Slipnot BTS (Bicycle Traction System)
Another choice for Moonlander winter riding instead of studs is Slipnot BTS. Mine is "Slipnot Fat Bike 4.7" on 100mm rim". It goes well with Surly Big Fat Larry 4.7" tire on 100mm Clown Shoe rim
as shown in the video below "Surly Moonlander with Slipnot BTS."
I prefer Slipnot BTS on Big Fat Larry 4.7 tires to Grip Studs on Bud and Lou tires if I can avoid places where the surface is icy and slippery. Because with Slipnot BTS on Big Fat Larry I can get
more traction and cushion than with Grip Studs on Bud and Lou.
