    Story Behind the Song
    When I was in engineering school I was puttering around at a buddy's apartment, a fellow we called "our Andy." I found a guitar nearby, and, as I was just learning some, I came up w/ this progression and our Andy thought it was great! So I put words to it and began to play it around as "My Lady of Strings." Well, I didn't care for those words much, so I changed them to their current form.

    Lyrics
    I wish I had a child to hold in my arms and rock for awhile
    But if I can't have a child I'll listen to the crickets singing in the nite
    Once I wrote a song about the reddened skies
    Now I wonder if I'll ever leave this place before I die and I wonder
    I would give my child a name of 12-string guitars and dancing sprites and bards
    And we'd travel in a van and see distant lands and view all the stars
    But if I can't have a child I'll be content w/ the nite
    I'll embrace and kiss her reddened neck oh so softly
    If I ever have a child to hold in my arms and rock for awhile
    I'll remember it's the nite that rocks me to sleep w/ cricket lullabies
