Story Behind the Song
This song was never slated to appear on the album. But then a friend of mine, Jim Johanson (who plays the congas and one of the shakers at the end and who engineered the song), wanted to do a studio date and asked me if I had any unrecorded material. We recorded it at the university-owned recording studio in Athens, Ohio. I had never met Adam or Sean when they showed up to the session, and so one can imagine how ecstatic I was when I discovered what great musicians they are. When I heard the first few tracks, I resolved that I absolutely had to have it on my album. Thanks to Jim for making it all possible.
Lyrics
Don't forget
this empty nest
is nothing
compared with
what you've seen.
And happiness
is powerless
to stop what you believe
from coming clean.
In a daze
on your way
to heaven
or someplace
in between.
Too far to go
the pot of gold
is way too out of reach
to keep you sold.
And you've found
that somewhere else
will almost do.
Pieces of your life
just bring you down,
and you've forgotten
what you are when you can
throw aside these
useless, idle vows,
and take a look around
at what's been
leading you nowhere
but home.
Far away
another day
is waiting
to bring you
from your cloud.
And while you're gone,
it passes on
to someone who is
ready to come down.
And you think
you've found the best
place to hide out.
Pieces of your life
still bring you down,
and you've forgotten
what you are when you can
throw aside these
useless, idle vows,
and take a look around
at what's been
leading you nowhere
but home.
