• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

i really love this song. it almost didnt' make the CD because the arrangement gave me such a hard time. so many rhythmic things going on i even stumped my drummer who needed a few different sessions to get it to work.

i like it.

This life I know
is racing all around
these times i take away
i wish i may i wish i might tonight
can you grant one more day?

wanting to be free
wanting to believe in all we had
oh my love i can't fly
but i want to see the way

in dreams i've had
in days and into night
tell me you had today
i've held inside more than i can say

all my troubles
i found
on the way
oh please
take them away

now i'll be fine
waiting for the weight to come and now
i found you listening to find
wanted to believe
don't want to turn away
come back down
i'll be flying away from myself and i won't die
i'm alive
waiting for the signs
to play

all my troubles
i found on the way
and time rolls on
now i
take them away

this life i made
i wish it wasn't when i see me falling down
these hearts
we live
so long
i want to stay

want to be alive
all the time i save from me now
i can't fly
away from myself
catch this scene
catch my flight
dreams of all these lifetimes
oh so now
hold me tight
and walk along with me through all this

troubles
i made
i own
put them off
now i
put them away
