	Story Behind the Song When my friend Gil died, it was seven years before I was able to write about it. Then, riding the El into downtown Chicago, this song came out. I almost didn't record it - thought it too personal - but my S.O. at the time insisted that I do. I'm glad I listened for a change, as it has become a favorite for some of my listeners. Lyrics CHRONOS (for Gil)   A path runs 'long the railroad track On the other side are graves. Time sees us all as equals - We'll always be its slaves. Chronos, couldn't you have spared A precious year or two? He was my friend, he was my teacher, And time don't mean a thing to you.   In dreams I see him now Moving toward the light He has broken through This veil of endless night Satan stands there seathing Over one who got away, But Gil still calls him Brother - Death, where's your mastery today?   Perhaps you'll reconsider If I tell you about this man. He was a Good Samaritan, Always there with a helping hand. I'm sure that you've heard many Mournful tales of good men lost, oh but I'd have followed this one Down through Hell, at any cost.   In dreams I see him now Moving toward the light He has broken through This veil of endless night Satan stands there seathing Over one who got away, But Gil still calls him Brother - Death, where's your mastery today?   I've always been a sailor, Gil Just as you've always loved the earth, So it's no less than fitting That you should get there first. I shall sail the seven seas, my friend, The die were always cast, Until Chronos comes to take me, too, And we... meet again... at last.   ©1995 John A.
