Story Behind The Song
I remember sitting down at the piano and starting to play the hook of this song. The rest of the melody and the lyrics followed soon after. I'm convinced this was quintessential inspiration. I appreciated the double entendre aspect of the lyrics that came to me. Is this a man she's singing about? Is it a deity? My brother, Scott, and I included this song in our second musical, "Devil May Care" and I'm pretty sure it's going to go on the "Greatest Hits" album.

Lyrics
I Just Met a Man
I just met a man who fills me with a hunger
Takes me by the hand and pulls me to his heart
He leads me to the water
And lets me drink my fill
Like no one else can and no one ever will
I just met a man who doesn't make me wonder
What it is I can and cannot do or say
He looks at me eyes open
And seems to see right through
To the one I am when I am my most true
Who is this man who promises lovingly
He'll understand unconditionally?
I just met a man who speaks to me like thunder
In a far-off land where lightning fills the sky
I want to know the meaning
Of peace that lies within
And I know I can find my peace within him
