Story Behind the Song
One of Tom's songs. I'll have to ask him about the meaning of the lyrics. But this song evolved after we recorded it. Tom made some changes to the chord progression in the chorus, and mixed it up a little bit. This is still *my* personal favorite version of this song. (Mike G.)
Lyrics
Here I am now, take a step closer. I have something to say, I will speak, then I'm done. Have some patience, it's the least you can give. Take my hand, let's go walk on the path you have burned. Seasons turning from bright light to grey. Can't you see why I've felt so much pain in my life? I can't tell when she is gone. Cannot tell when she is gone. I have never seen her. I have never known her. Close your eyes now. Everything is dark. The grin on your face I can barely make out. Close your window. Too much rain outside. Once, I felt like treating you right, now it's gone. Now it's over. Trees don't grow on demand. Close your eyes, make a face, and please leave me alone. It don't matter, I can't even see my own face. For so long now, I've lived in someone else's place. Trust in love you once gave me, see what I've lost. You have played the game so well, look at the cost.
