    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this song at a time in 2001 when my foundation as a musician was starting to get secure. The song expresses my satisfaction at having gotten to a place I wasn't sure I could get to.

    Lyrics
    I'm waiting for a story
    A story to begin
    The ticking of the clock has
    for some time been wearing thin

    Now, given all of the memories
    that you could have
    how would you like your time here
    to pass?

    I've seen the castle
    And I have seen the queen
    I've seen the river rising
    Down by the city walls where I've been

    and It makes so little difference
    when your outside looking in
    if can't feel the warm from the fires then
    they may as well not be burning

    now I used to think that
    all of the cynics were lying
    but I haven't been saved yet
    and I may die trying

    I feel my faith was being
    held in custody
    so much time getting tied up
    and so many ties fading on me

    There are parts of the city where
    I've been told not to go
    where the risk was too high
    and the chance for redemption too low

    but what I found were smiles
    just as broad as thier scars
    and a night sky so clear
    you could read by the stars

    now I used to think that
    all of the cynics were lying
    but I haven't been saved yet
    and I may die trying

    I feel my faith was being
    held in custody
    so much time getting tied up
    and so many ties fading on me
