lyrics

Errants of the Beach, you will find us:
a church is here, for just your kind

Errants of the Mall, rejoice with us
a Hall awaits you, all miked up for every voice

an Inside all here stumble on
you, too, have a song
and all will sing along

our Trio filled the hall,
we had our time on stage

all were made anew again:
hearing ‘Peggy Sue’ again,
in 1958

we had some kind of harp,
and every note it made

gathered in a Chord
no one had a name for

you, too, have a song
and all will sing along;
come onto our stage

come onto our stage:
for you too have a song
and all will sing along

and as you're coming down,
and as you're coming off

be sure to look around
be sure to look above

this church has no staff, is not overseen
this church is for drop-ins
this church comes alive
w/ friends in on a lark,
w/ the recently harassed,
w/ the newly deceased
who all press in from the noise & sun
of a Saturday market

and as you're coming down,
and as you're coming off,

keep the mic on,
pass it along
and do look up:

SEE the high window where
your trio plays on

and as you say goodbye,
and go into the night
turn your head up high:

where every star is burning for
some trio wandered by
