about

This track actually developed out of a piece commissioned for a birthday (sheet music and all!). I've been toying around with it a lot since and finally getting there with the lyrics. "Blink and you'll miss me" made me laugh...

lyrics

BLINK

Out in the open, why didn't you come?
Blink and you'll miss me
By the time you've opened your eyes I'll be gone

Done with it all so easy
Sounds that wake the dove
Hail against the window
What have you got to say for yourselves this time?

Bid on the longshot
Why? You couldn't have known
Known any better
Which way to go when you go away this time
