Song Description
When I wrote this song, I was "under the influence of JAZZ" - true jazz.... the kind of jazz that Miles Davis was playing throughout his life. I wanted to write a posthumous tribute; an homage to the jazz man of mystery.

Lyrics
Indigo (Tribute to Miles Davis)
Indigo
The color of his eyes was Indigo
With a glow
And a deep understanding
Of what is real
And who you are
And how you feel
There's just no denying
You're gonna have it all
With Indigo
Indigo
It happens every time with
Indigo
And you'll know
'Cuz when he is playing
His every note
Will reach right through
Down to your soul
He'll etch it in stone, now
You're gonna have it all with
Indigo
Journey to the corner of his thoughts
You will see Everything
There's nothing his eyes
Won't discern
Indigo
Indigo
You cannot run away from
Indigo
And you'll know
'Cause he plays to your feelings
Until you hear
And you are free
From all you fear
For THIS is his vision
You're now under the spell of
Indigo
