Ave Regina 03:53
My thoughts are so heavy My intentions so pure That I can't even stand When she enters the door It's like the Queen is in session And all I can do Is sing 'Ave Regina' 'Ave to you' She can give life so freely To be honest and brave They'll be counting for decades All the lives that she saved I will forego the distance And the walls in between My sights are now setting On courting the Queen So I die for the very first time Sing dirges and requiem masses For an age, a place, a time, and a boy Who watches his pipe dreams pass away I had dreams I would move here And take it by storm To return all victorious To the land I was born And when I'm dearly departed From the land that I started The Queen and her subjects would mourn But I die for the very first time Sing dirges and requiem masses For an age, a place, a time, and a boy Who watches his pipe dreams pass away So I'll stand here and wait For the one who is always late I gave up so soon Just to stay in this room Singing 'Ave Regina, Ave to you' I gave up so soon Just to stay in this room Singing 'Ave Regina, Ave to you'

about

John Schmitt was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, and his songs are a direct reflection of his experiences growing up there. His simple, honest approach tells stories that hit at the heart of American life. Blending a folk-meets-soul style to go along with thoughtful lyrics and images, John sings about his life in real terms. His album "Ophelia," due out on 11/12/10, is his loftiest work to date. Produced by Caleb Hawley, we see on "Ophelia" just how life in the city has affected Schmitt, now a resident of Brooklyn, as he takes us along for many stories of life, love, loss, and coffee consumption.
