In Between

Here's a little song I started writing at work and finished writing at home.  I like how it turned out.  I hope you do too.

I had to record it fast, because I only had about 20 minutes of peace and quiet while Emily had the kids outside at the park.  Nothing's quite as fun as making music on the run! 

Here are the lyrics:

Got into work

Tossed down my bag

Got a drink 

And I stowed my things

I looked outside 

At the rain

I settled in

Then I looked down

There on the floor

You're little plane

A little scratched

And a little worn

But it had wings

And there's a sky

And made me think

There's so much more

I love to fly

And I love to sing

You're just a boy

And I'm somewhere in between

There was a "then"

And there's a "now"

You think about "what"

I think about "how"

The day rolled on

And I felt grey

But your little plane

Seemed to call and say

"I'm painted red

And skies are blue

The grass is green

And we're inside of you."

I stepped outside

And breathed it in

The felt clean

And cool upon my skin

The wind came up

There was a lift

And deep inside

I felt a little shift

I love to fly

And I love to sing

You're just a boy

And I'm somewhere in between

There was a "then"

And there's a "now"

You think about "what"

I think about "how"

You laugh

You know how to cry

You know how to live

And someday we'll all learn how to die

I love to fly

And I love to sing

You're just a boy

And I'm somewhere in between

There was a "then"

And there's a "now"

You think about "what"

I think about "how"

Now I'm at home

You're all asleep

I'm up late

With the secrets that I keep

It's dark outside

I feel okay

When the sun comes up

It'll be another day

I love to fly

And I love to sing

You're just a boy

And I'm somewhere in between

There was a "then"

And there's a "now"

You think about "what"

I think about "how"


P.S.  I've always believed in thinking about "what" first, and then figuring out "how."  When I don't, I feel old.  When I do, I feel young.  How about you?
