	Story Behind the Song Only Alysson knows what motivated this song, and she's not telling. The recording went smoothly until Robbie Link tried to lay down the cello track. It's in a perfectly awful key for cello--several tries later we called it a day and tried again, some weeks later--it was well worth it! Listen to the spectacular cello he layed down! Lyrics I watch the tides Like maybe you'll return to me I count the grains of sand Seconds of my life Ooh, in my mind You were like a willow tree The only shade I could find Where you wept like my frozen mind Frozen tears In my mind, I am falling Look at where you've left me Here like an angry wave A step, a step, they're all steps And maybe I'll just fly to you In my mind I am falling Here I am When you're a shadow to me I'll know I dreamed you then And I'll wish your love away instead But instead now I hold you fast In my mind I am falling Here I am Open the shell
