	Story Behind the Song I heard a song on a soundtrack called "Halo". I don't remember exactly what soundtrack it was. Maybe American Pie 2, but anyway... I knew I wanted to write a song about a halo... or something like that. My old bassist and I decided that our first cd was going to be called "Jack-knifed Life" and we wanted a title track. So I wrote this song to accomodate both. However after a while I decided that I liked "Halo" as the title better than jack knifed life. This song is basically about a person, any person, who is dying from whatever ailment you can come up with. Lyrics I see a halo Hangin over my head I see the people Gather round my bed tonight I see you among them I can't help But wonder why I know that you love me There's nothing You can do for me I see the searchlights Endlessly searching my life I climb the steeple To get away from this Jack-knifed life Why can't you understand It's not the way I want my life to be Why can't you just realize It's not the way That I wanna be seen I don't wanna be alone when my time Finally comes I don't want you watching me as my life Changes from color to gray I see the steeple The people Surround the doors I see the searchlight Endlessly Searching my life Jack-Knifed life So get away from me Get away from me Just get away from me my friend Look away from me Look away from me I don't want you Seeing me this way I see a halo Hangin over my head I see the people Gather round They're gathered round my bed
