about

This was the first song I wrote on my very first ICS session ever, back in 2002. The little bridge-y part in the middle was created when my fingers screwed up. I hadn't exactly intended for the guitar part to go the way it did, but in the spirit of ICS, I just went with it. Sometimes those moments turn out alright.

lyrics

How long, how long will this go on, as cold as the sky is deep?
How old, how old will your garden grow,
As the birds pick at you while you sleep

How far, how far will you find that you are,
Just as small as a speck of dust?
How deep, how deep will you shiver in your sleep,
As the birds try to sing you awake

How long, how long will this go on,
As the birds try to sing you awake
