about

Diamonds on the Texas Dew – I knew Dewey Winburne well but had no idea that his network of close friends and allies reached into so many different Austin communities. Over a thousand people came to his funeral, and it took two buildings linked by video to hold them. In the Austin world of high tech opportunity, Dewey always was the guardian angel for empathy, collaboration, generosity, and compassion.

Diamonds on the Texas Dew

© 2021 by Eric Dahl

Middle of the night you forget about the sun,
But it’s still gonna rise.
See – there it is,
Fractured in these eyes.
Stays cold all evening,
The field at dawn is covered in dew –
A glint of light diamond bright
For each of you.

You know, he believed
Being linked together makes us sane,
And he was the kind
Who loved to build that chain.
He always had some shining idea breaking through,
Gentle and real as diamonds on the Texas dew.

He told me, “Don’t you give up yet, got this idea,
A few more tricks to play.
Let me think about it –
There’s gotta be some way.
Hey, I know a guy who knows a woman
Who will know what to do
And someone else
Who needs a hand from you.”

You know, he believed
Being linked together makes us sane,
And he was the kind
Who loved to build that chain.
He always had some shining idea breaking through,
Gentle and real as diamonds on the Texas dew.

He believed
Being linked together makes us sane,
And we’re the ones
That have to fix that chain,
Cause this is where the shining ideas come through,
Gentle and real as a glint off the Texas Dew,
Gentle and real as diamonds on the Texas Dew,
Gentle and real as diamonds on the Texas Dew.
