	Story Behind the Song This song captures that state of the-coulda-been-but-never-was. Lyrically this is one of my favorite songs written to date. And I think keeping this an acoustic production is the way to go; to keep that hollowness an incremental voice in the essence of the song. Lyrics music and lyrics © Monica Uhm, 2000 All Rights Reserved I suppose these lines were drawn before my time The way that air meets land through eternity And I suppose that you and I will waltz the perfect line You’re always there but never a part of me And so we watch the moonlight fade A love song hangs on the thread of a word Its been holding on for days Hoping to remember how an eagle flies – to feel amazed Nothing’s really happened but nothing feels the same Noone hears the avalanche of war The way that soul fights flesh through eternity In silence grew bitterness The drama played without an audience And so I watch a hero fade A cowboy rides on the edge of the world He’s been riding on for days Hoping to remember where the mountains rise – to feel amazed Nothing’s every happened but everything has changed What never starts can never end and what’s never seen easily pretends that destiny is ripe for living but just not today Cause once you’ve lived it up its hard to live it down there’s a chance that you’ll break Nothing ever happened so everything has changed I suppose I could have opened up the blinds To give some breath and light to this heart of mine In silence grew some tenderness But kept in chains in self defense And now I’ve watched you fade away The love song died in the cold in the night There was nothing I could say Cause noone could remember when or how or why We had once felt amazed Nothing ever happened so everything had changed Nothing ever happened so no one cared to stay Nothing happened so nothing’s here today
