about

Sometimes I just sit and stare out the window for long periods of time. This is what I'm thinking about if you ever catch me doing it.

lyrics

When you decide which face to wear
will your mirror then be whole
when I decide if I really care
from there where do we go
millions of people - one moment in time
who's the enemy - who's your best friend
a bird singing alone and he's hoping to find
the voice of another reflecting him

Paper trees are there for the burning
on sacred knees you know you're there for the learning
and you learn

I thought I saw a smile in your eyes
maybe I was just hopin'
don't walk away thinking I'm closed
because my door is always wide open
folks breeze in and folks breeze out
some folks breeze by for a song
like every cool breeze they all come and go
one day, they're just gone

A fleeting thought leaves a hole in my mind
now I'm left with nothing to say
my thoughts are harsh but my words are kind
it's all part of games people play
the curtain falls and the lights go up
left on this stage all alone
no script to follow just making it up
hoping to find our way home
