(Wait until the very end.)
The eighth and Final recording track from 'Unturned Stones'

lyrics

I'm sorry I couldn't be there
or was i there all along?
Clearly somewhere, I went wrong,

Don't want to farewell on a sad note,
so I'll end it with a bit of hope,
And I am not alone, wo - o - ah, not alone

I'm part of a legacy,
one million people, and then there's me,
i won't give up the fight,
the ground is changing fast,
but my ship still has a mast,
it's time to take a visit back,
to the past,

(Guitar Solo Boiiiii)

As the blue sun strikes the sky,
she turns and says her goodbye,
and you're trying not to cry,
she sails away to a distant land,
with bluer skies and a fairer sand,
but she feels she holds your hand,

CHORUS

I'm gazing through the mirror at a world i never knew,
dumbfounded, all these choices leaving me without a clue,
won't you give me a call if you find out that it's true
cause i'm feeling so blue, so blue, so blue,
the day will come
when i don't remember you,
and i used to dread it,
dread it,
dreeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaad iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit,
oh you can find yourself
(comin' out of my cage)
if you steal, away with me
(take my freedom from you)

she
walks the town,
she roams around,
like a blossom in the frown,
ahhhh,
Stay true to my world
It's time to take a visit back
(hello again)
It's time to take a visit back (hello again)
to the
Past

Can I just say that the drums to this song were recorded in one take and I had to change sticks three times.
