Nocturnal from For Granted by Delphi Rising
--inspired by all those great hard rock shows I saw during my high school years in San Antonio ('76-'80). Sometimes you just have to write a stupid rock and roll song.

Lyrics
Nocturnal
(© 2008 Walter Ehresman)
Bone-creeper, alligator with a special eyeball right on you;
Root-slipper, stone tripper, and there really ain’t that much you can do.
Night’s falling, and you’re stalling, but you know you got to step ‘cross that line;
Knees shaking, but you’re making some decisions that could change that in time.
[chorus]
Nocturnal–a creature of the night;
They call me nocturnal–you cannot use those things you bring from the light.
All the places that you roam in the day ain’t the same when Amun drops from the sky,
and all the pathways that your feet like to walk will not lead you to the same lullaby.
Heresy, but I think you’ll agree, when your vision starts to warmly grow,
that bat time leaves you feeling so fine, and you’ll come to fear that Eastern glow.
[chorus]

Called "the quintessential Austin DIY artist" by famed local disc jockey Charlie Martin , Walter Ehresman was an eccentric presence in the Austin music scene from the '80s until his 2015 move to Mexico. A prolific songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and recording artist...and a restless musical spirit, always looking for something new, expressed with fearlessly honest, socially-conscious lyrics.
