about

I really like the way this came out. Things just seem to come together sometimes and I think this song is definitely the product of some cool ideas all occurring at once. This was all recorded on my new rode NT1_A and all the guitar tracks were done on my Rainsong COWS-1100. I like the way the little solo came out, especially since it was done in one take:)

I'm hoping that this will set the tone for my work to come and raise the bar for me artistically =^.^=

This song is part of, what is for now, a trilogy of songs that all complete the same thought. The other one currently recorded is "Selfish Love"

lyrics

Your face is lined with pain
but you can't see anyway
you know that I love you
more than I can say

[chorus]
You have my heart on a wire
you make me feel high
my hands are too tired to touch you
still I feel I can't decide

My tongue licks your tears
before they can fall to the ground
we're whispering through the years
can't you hear the sound

[chorus]

You have got me thinking
that I, I cant run anymore
The game we've been playing
is coming to a close

[chorus and end]
