about

The fist song of the '12 songs of 12 weeks'. First written and first recorded. Got me interested and hopeful again. Someone told me they liked it but would have liked more fuzz. Everyone loves fuzz don't they?! I like it just the way it is...just like the person I wrote it for.

lyrics

Hey, the only girl I know, who says just take it nice and slow.
Just hold both my hands and squeeze, feel the breeze and time will freeze.
Still, in a field of corn, sun baked and your hair is warm on my chest. Its all I hear, your heart so clear, we'll disappear. But only in time.

When I said I was nothing did you leave me to die?
A whole heap of trouble and spit for your eye.
You wrap your wings round me and together we slowly will rise.
To a place that is golden and free from the guilt and the lies.

Time just keeps marching on and I can't undo the things I've done.
I'll hold both your little hands and tell you true its always you.
Hope is a fickle thing. It shines in the ones we bring, to this life.
But I feel hemmed in, like boxing things in tiny tins. And learning to lie.

When I said I was nothing did you leave me to die?
A whole heap of trouble and spit for your eye.
You wrap your wings round me and together we slowly will rise.
To a place that is golden and free from the guilt and the lies.

Hey, still that girl I know. Who says, just take it nice and slow.
Just hold both my little hands and wish for time to slow inside.

When I said I was nothing did you leave me to die?
A whole heap of trouble and spit for your eye.
You wrap your wings round me and together we slowly will rise.
To a place that is golden and free from the guilt and the lies.

When I said nothing, I meant everything.
Hold onto me now. Feel the beat of my heart.
