	Story Behind the Song Halley's Comet is my first experiment in sharing my songs with the world via the mp3 format. So, hopefully, future recordings will be even better. For simplicity's sake, I decided to record it "live", i.e. playing the guitar and singing at the same time. It took me something like twelve takes to get one that had small enough mistakes that I was satisfied. Halley's Comet is the sequel to another song, "If You See Dani" and perhaps that one will appear here some day as well. Lyrics To this day I smile to remember watching Halley's Comet with you. On that dark mountain top, I could see my future, I just knew. You pointed up at the sky and said you'd ride that comet's tail . . . I thought you were just talking. I really thought you were just talking I remember the stink in that goddamn car Old upholstery and fake cinnamon smell and I was sure that's what is smelled like in heaven I wish I'd told you to go to hell That's what I smelled the last time I saw you before you drove that car away leaving me behind with my future, dreams I never dreamed again from that day I don't blame you, even though I could not tame you you know I honestly wish you well. I should thank you, it really is better this way, my angel who never fell And I know you'll be happy in heaven . . . I know I'm happy here on the Earth In ancient lands great cities stand on the ruins of the old And I never thought I'd see you again, doin' archeology on my soul It did not satisfy me to tell you that I fell in love again First is not best, it's just first, but it was you way back when. and even though my new center is far kinder than you Even though my new dreams have for the most part come true I'll send postcards to you in Heaven because . . . After all, I miss you I miss you To this day I smile to remember watching Halley's Comet with you I smile through my tears, because every word you told me was true That unlived life sometimes haunts me, unborn children, tears never cried but I would not trade for them, there's no recrossing that divide. I don't blame you, even though I could not tame you you know I honestly wish you well. I should thank you, it really is better this way, my angel who never fell And I know you'll be happy in heaven . . . I know I'm happy here on the Earth
