Yet another of Lyn's endless songs about relationships. THIS NEW VERSION IS A REMIX OF THE ORIGINAL
Artist picture
Just me & Lyn
This stuff was all recorded by me & Lyn - most of it dates back to the mid 90's when we first acquired some gear, but we haven't done a lot recently due to moving house, getting married, blah.

Story behind the song
The lyrics started off as random gibberish which we changed, altered, mutated and reworked. The 'guitar' solo in the middle was eventually played on a synth. I knew what notes I wanted but these tired od fingers just couldn't get it right, and neither Mr Satriani nor Mr Vai were available to do the overdubs.
Lyrics
Real time a lifeline a means without an end Fall out but don't shout just whisper to a friend Don't do what I knew in hazy days behind Be good like I should imagine what you'd find Twisted around your broken peace of mind Casting your net far over me Playing a game that I had once declined Promise you gave that I'd be free Backdated replay getting your own way A thought, a wish, a dream Tempted to wait and follow my fate Is nothing what it seems Putting aside a runaway bride Who vowed that she'd remain Hiding away to cut out the day To feel would be insane Back on my own I will not say your name Couldn't escape the hold on me Being myself could never be the same Now you've disguised me You don't recognise me honey I am the girl you left behind How could I ever be so blind Tired of waiting for you Moved on so long Now you've disguised me You don't recognise me honey I am the girl you left behind How could I ever be so blind Tired of waiting for you Moved on so long Lost to be found I caught your smile Kept you around you gave me all that I had Heaven was sent you filled my heart Love so content a moment captured in song So long Now you've disguised me You don't recognise me honey I am the girl you left behind How could I ever be so blind Tired of waiting for you Moved on so long Perish the notion misplaced devotion Fought to live Kept it inside pretend to have lied I've no more to give Thrown it away I hear what you say The words don't sound Being apart was only the start I will not be around you So far, so close honey So strong, so long honey
