Story Behind The Song
Tall Oaks and Tanglewood are the cross streets where I was living when this song was written. I felt pressured to choose between playing music and staying in a relationship. Guess which one won out? I ended up moving out to the Tall Oaks address.

Lyrics
You say that you're not asking much
Just a pledge of constancy
That I will place you above all others
You'll always be first with me
Chorus:
Well I'd like to be your lady
But the music is in my blood
And I will follow to where the Tall Oaks
Meet the Tanglewood
And I will follow to where the Tall Oaks
Meet the Tanglewood
All my life it seems I have been searching
For a man just like you
Now I realize I was looking for a mirror
To view myself through
Chorus:
I'll never have the answers
To all the questions in your mind
Maybe if you walk awhile alone
The little boy can stay behind
Chorus
