I've never released this particular version of this song anywhere before.. in fact, I didn't even realize it existed. It's been just sittin here in a dark sea of .wav files since January 1st, 2008, according to the creation date on the file properties.
I guess it wasn't as good to me as the other take I used and put on whatever album it was I was creating at the time, but now I actually prefer this one, as I'm listening to it. It is more quiet.
Tonight is the Solstice full moon, and this song always reminds me of the moon, because I remember looking out at it from my window that night when I wrote it. It wasn't full then, but there is no rule anywhere that says full moons are better than any other phase of the moon. Open your mind to the lesser-appreciated phases of life. Sometimes a quiet space is nice, even if it does feel quite lonely at times.
Lyrics
It's too quiet in this house
with my sweet angels fast asleep
I'm alone here in this room
and all my thoughts are rumbling deep
There's a window by my side,
Lady Moon is smiling high
and as I gaze into the night
these raging questions flood my mind
I see the stars there
swirling round
and how I wonder
what we really are
I sing my questions
to the skies
and wait for answers
I know that I can't find
(I can't find)
My head is spinning like a dream
it won't slow down for anything
this life is bigger than we are
and all the clouds and trees and stars
So, I'm sitting in this house
shades of starlight in my head
when I should just run straight to bed
and pile the pillows over my head
But I see the stars there
swirling round
and how I wonder
just what we really are
I sing my questions to the skies
and wait for answers
I know that I can't find
I can't find
