This is a big guitar ballad that sounds like Jeff Buckley-meets-U2. The Viola and guitar solos by Debbie Spring and Jonathan Kreisberg are beautiful.

Story behind the song
This is a song about not seing someone for a long time and playing catch-up with them, trying to figure out what they are really telling you. I wrote the lyrics for this song about my good friend, Melissa Dellos (Swetish), who I had just gotten back in touch with. I have written many songs for Missy, unfortunately she was killed in an automobile accident before the CD was completed and she never heard this song. * The CD is called "Third Wish" and the three wishes described in the lift were a reference to the original name of the band. Also, The "Wind though the chimes, hushed by time, now awoken" line is referenced at the beginning of a later Missy song "Without A Net" from my solo CD "Deep Sky," where you hear chimes ringing and then being being grabbed in a fist (to signify the loss of her beautiful light).
Lyrics
The face I remember Graced with a veil of age For a moment All my lines have escaped School in September The end of an era in may Then the summer When both our directions had changed Children will wish for the future And then wish for what they've outgrown One more to do it all over With all of the questions and answers now known Wind through the chimes Hushed by time Now awoken Did you dance in the leaves or hide and sek The paths that you've chosen Both of us grown now Both of us set in our ways Will tommorrow find us again out of phase Have we made a difference In the lives that we chose to embrace Have we taken The paths tha will lead us to grace Children will wish for the future And then wish for what they've outgrown One more to do it all over With all of the questions and answers now known Wind through the chimes Hushed by time Now awoken Did you dance in the leaves or hide and sek The paths that you've chosen On my mind All of the feelings unspoken Over time The years that I've missd Closed like a fist Open now Show me how Children will wish for the future And then wish for what they've outgrown One more to do it all over With all of the questions and answers now known Wind through the chimes Hushed by time Now awoken Did you dance in the leaves or hide and sek The paths that you've chosen
