about

From the 2009 indie/handmade 4-track LP Sketches of the Sun

lyrics

In the beginning there was a sign
Waters too easy, fire next time
Glimpses of freedom saving the curse
The best way to heaven is often the worst

Brought down by daylight, a touch of the true
Blinded by darkness, what else is new?
High on the mountain nothing can last
It's here in a vision and leaves just as fast

I've been here before
And I can't take no more wandering

My train is coming on down the track
But as it moves forward it also moves back
I must be dreaming of moving ahead
'Cuz all of this backwards has got to my head

I've been here before
And I can't take no more wandering

This too shall pass
Wandering
