I'm an amateur with no plans to be anything else. I don't write much these days, but in my younger, less stable days I felt moved to write songs to express what was in my head.

Story behind the song
Written in 1996
Lyrics
The teacher's words were clear: Why have you come here? The chairs are lined in even rows The hour starts, the door is closed The man who's talking doesn't know my name No one can tell you The father's words were vague: Haven't you been saved? The sunlight strains to come inside The specks of dust and color hide the people yearning for the time to leave And the faces pass Their eyes are just like tinted glass to me And the moments go faster The leaves have turned brown again When I reach my December I hope the means won't justify the end The river's words were strange A music I can't play The water travels cool and deep The rhythm soothing me to sleep as I sit beside the steep bank No one can tell you The page's words were cold The binding worn and old The shadows pressing on the walls The silence hanging in the halls The echoes that betray it all to me And the ghosts go by Sometimes I think I feel their eyes on me And the years turn to decades All my old friends have grown And the time spent in searching, I know is a meaning all its own
