Story behind the song

written fairly quickly - sorta just flowed. was the first song i recorded for this album.. a rough mix without orchestration was avail on mp3.com, then it was remixed later.

Lyrics

here it comes like a wave again 
white foam caps come crashing in 
just when you thought you'd breached the reefs 
undertow pulls you back beneath 

just when you had seen the shore 
of a place you'd like to visit more 
tide grips you back again 
rolls you up against familiar sand. 

and you know .. it will always be out of reach 
or suffocating beneath 
is this an ongoing theme ? or storyline that defines your place in time. 

just when you could see the sun 
and were quite amazed by how bright it shone 
night fell in, and dark came down 
black above and all around. 

just when you could hear a tune 
of a melody that struck a chord with you 
the needle reached it's vinyl end 
scratch around the dust and bends. 

just when you lead the race 
establishing a brand new pace. 
you trip and fall to the back again 
giving up for your wounds to mend. 

just when you could feel the breeze 
a summer wind that put your mind at ease. 
autumn brings the collar up to your chin 
bending (bow) your head down one again for... the.... wind. 

and you know .. it will always be out of reach 
suffocating beneath 
is this an ongoing theme ? or storyline that defines your place in time. 

or will it always elude you?
