	Story Behind the Song Song is pronounced the same way as the name "Amy" as opposed to the french word "amie", meaning "friend". The motivation for the song: When I worked in child care, there was a little girl who clung to me and then there was her mother of (perhaps) good intentions. I wrote this song based on a realistic view of this single mother: an aging woman looking for some way, any way, to retain her youth, but of course she can't because she is on her own raising 2 children. This song was written December 17, 2000 at around 2 in the morning and has undergone a few modifications, but overall has remained relatively intact. This version was recorded in April of 2001 and was the second take of this particular recording. Lyrics Amie breathes the air of indecision and doubt and the stench of another night alone tucks the children into bed and cries herself to sleep and reaches for the unknown. Amie drinks the pool of life inside her cup and lets the excess drip off her lips. Smiles the smile of one who knows all and fears the fears of one who should know better. Trapped in her starry night fantasy wide-eyed wild-child cherry-scented blanket-covered hurricane (x2) Amie licks the silver spoon she dipped inside the honey jar and lets the taste linger on her tongue. Holds the warmth within her soul into the night to fight the cold of being alone. Some say the velvet comfort drains the essence like a vampire drains the blood Amie wipes the powder off her face and puts her hair up and looks in the mirror at the teenaged girl trapped in the woman's aging eyes. Amie heaves the sigh of better days gone by and holds the hope inside that better days will come kisses her children good-bye and goes to work to create the false illusion that all is normal now. Some say that neon dims her perspective like blindness brings eternal night Amie draws the curtains closed again and takes her mask off and looks inside at the teenaged girl trapped in the woman's aging eyes. Trapped in her starry night fantasy wide-eyed wild-child cherry-scented blanket-covered hurricane (x2) Amie kisses the shadows of her doubt and she sleeps with the essence of her fears someday she knows it will all go away with hope that it's not by the numbness brought on by her years. Some say the velvet comfort drains her essence like a vampire drains her blood Amie wipes the powder off her face and draws the curtains closed and looks in the mirror at the teenaged girl trapped in the woman's aging eyes... trapped in the woman's aging eyes... (I'm) trapped in the woman's aging eyes...
