about

While I had that crush on Peter, I was trying hard to fall in love with someone I had said goodbye to in Texas, who it turns out, had already moved on. Ah youth!
I just love the guitar work on this one -- Doug and Orlando. I still remember what a spell they cast that night.

lyrics

An empty mailbox doesn't really matter,
And a full one only lets you know
You helped contribute to lonesomeness
About five days ago.
Letters make a verbal silence,
And words aren't big enough to say,
I think I love someone a continent and a million miles away.

When tears come slow, unstinging, warm,
My shoulders heave involuntary sighs,
Rationality offers a halfhearted
Consolation prize.
Two small children maturing
Away from together securities --
Instead of two small clinging vines
We'll grow into trees.

We were or will be isn't in the present.
Common sense can't fill the empty ache
For hands resting heavy on my shoulders,
Eyes to smile me awake,
A heart to catch the overflow of beauty
My soul cannot contain.
I think I love someone a continent and a million miles away.

about

Megan Sue Hicks Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

In my teens and twenties I wanted to be a rich and famous singer-songwriter. In my 30s I wanted to be a rich and famous bestselling novelist. In my late 30's I discovered that what I really am is a storyteller, and that's how I've been making my way in the world for the past many years.
