Lyrics

Maybe Next Time
(recorded Apr-June 2004)

The wind off the water is blowing right through me today
A pair of wings on the breeze is trying hard to fly away
I see your face all around this place and it makes me smile
What you leave behind is enough to ease my mind for a while

(Chorus)
This world has let you down
But maybe next time you'll have your way
I hope (know) I'll see you again in the sunshine of a brand new day

When I awake I know that everything was a dream
You think you have it all but nothing is ever what it seems
When they told me you'd gone just before the dawn I saw no light
You're on your way and afterall who can say what's right?

Chorus and fade
