my starting verse moves towards Anne's happy and serene ending, one that I will one day find.
lyrics
1
In my childhood, the years were longer then, full of games and fun
In the garden, climb and run around, no-one waiting, nothing to be done
I'd be bored then I'd write a song, crossing words out with an inky pen
It came easily, I could always be, myself at home
2
In my school years, there was so much to learn, barely time to write
Every moment, independent now, no surprise I'd wake up in the night
In my heart I would hear a song, sometimes sure, I’d search to find a pen
Hoping soon I'd be, all I tried to be, myself at home
3
Then in love, the moments slipped away, lost in passions deep
Who I was once, disappeared with dreams, in his arms I'd tumble off to sleep
And my song, was a song for two, making plans, no time to lift the pen
Caught in mystery, he was finding me, myself at home
Like a letter from my past, or a poem that I wrote
Every voice, every choice seems so far away
Who I was went by so fast, every dream a fading note
Coming home, I will see you again
4
In the garden, the shadows lengthening, time to go to bed
Now my children, they climb and run around, hide and seek with many years ahead
In their voices I can hear a song, new again, I reach, pick up my pen
Now it’s clear to see, they are part of me, myself at home

Just the most fun. Every set is one I want to sit down and learn, and they play with so much ENERGY and STYLE. Crunchy, tangible sound. I'll never get tired of listening to Kinnaris Quintet play. andpersand
