about
My favorite song from the CD! Amidst a nostalgia-tinged descending E riff, I castigate myself for my lifetime of selfishness. Will it work? Maybe when I go away. :-)

WHEN I GO AWAY

"Thinkin....lately...about the people I have known,
blowing them off to be alone.
Maybe...I should...reconsider what I've done,
step away from oblivion.
Seems I've found there's very little good in me,
selfish ways running unchecked,
blaming the world for my uncertainty,
It's a wonder....I'm still OK...at the end of the day.
Never....took the...time to...learn about my friends,
myopia deep inside the lens.
Tryin'...harder...to get it... right again next time,
just another upward climb.
Fortune still reigns, but it ain't raining down these days,
Nearing the start of the second half,
throw the Hail Mary and have a laugh,
it's a wonder I'm still OK....
...but I'm hurtin' inside, I'm so unsatisfied,
like a wake up bomb for the rest of my life....
Selfish ways need correction right away,
chasing a dream has left it mark, oh, LOTS of casualties,
And I wonder....what you might say...
When I Go Away."
