    Story Behind the Song
    This song is a lullaby-like reminder to myself. Written in the heat of 20-something career angst.

    Just guitar and voice. Simple song, simple message.

    Lyrics
    Clearing

    Sitting on a bench
    Waiting for a bus
    Watching people pass in the rain
    Ever since I got here
    Everything's gone bust
    I aint coming back here again

    Going to the country
    Heading for the hills
    Gonna be the only of my kind
    I've had enough of interviews
    Telling lies in fancy shoes
    I'm gonna find a clearing in my mind

    I'd like to make some money
    I'd like to buy a house
    I'd like to raise a family if there's time
    But all these things I work to buy
    Will pile up and block the sky
    If I can't keep a clearing in my mind
