    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this song after my dot com closed 3 months after relocating from Los Angeles to San Francisco. I felt pretty isolated and alone in a new city, let alone it being in San Francisco, the most expensive place to live in the country (at the time...)! But appreciating the people, places and experiences I had encountered along the way, I felt fortunate and that kept my spirits high during those empty times. It's difficult to know what to do with yourself after all that. Then, a year later, I met sweet Andy Luce and his brother Tom and found my music, a steady friend that has been quietly within me all my life.

    Lyrics
    Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever find a home
    Been out here so long…on my own.
    Don’t know if I can be understood at all
    Seems like the world sometimes wants me to fall [into]

    … the darkest shadows of myself
    … the brightest light so I can see myself

    Where do I go with all these choices?
    I can’t stand still just waiting for you.
    I’ve got to keep moving through
    On my own

    I sit alone at night … wonder what life’s about
    Keeping my spirits high to live a day I’m proud of
    I tell to myself, if I died tomorrow
    I’ve loved and grieved, and I’ve felt the sorrow [of]…

    Chorus

    Life can turn on a dime
    (it’s unpredictable)
    You and I will, in time
    (I wonder how I know)
    be in a dream
    or be here inbetween suffering
    (and mending hearts)

    You’re heavy on my mind
    but like a whisper in a breeze
    You’re not around,
    but your strength surrounds me
    I wish upon each night for you to appear
    Bring me some piece of mind to all these fears [in the]…

    Chorus
