lyrics
I remember wanting to be a part of the crowd
I remember telling myself
That loneliness is just part of the path
And good fruit grows in the quiet
I remember belonging
You laughed, I laughed, we were all friends
Somehow, I'd found a place to stow all my sadness
You can hear but not listen
You can sound it out the words
You can try to envision
Who we'd be without fear
Who we'd be without fear
I remember emerging
Bright eyes and paper thin skin
Just waiting
For someone
To tell me I have what it takes
And oh the accounting
Thinking how much do I have
You can try to believe it
It can make you happy, it can make you sad
If loss is the lesson
But there's light enough to bloom
And the day casts its shadow
Out of morning in to afternoon
Into evening
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles
