I was about to get booted out of Australia, and had no nest to fly home to. This song was a perfect example of whistling in the dark. Pay attention to Terry Wilkins on bass.

lyrics

Don't know where I'm going,
I'm not sure where I've been.
Many faces, many loves,
Places to be in,
Words to say,
Games to play,
People to befriend
Will meet me where I'm going.
My God, where have I been?

Don't know what I'm saying,
Not sure what I've said,
Poems written, songs to sing,
Books that I have read,
Conversations,
Supplications
Come into my head.
Is what I'm doing living,
'Cause I know I'm not dead.

Lord, this low I'm feeling
Digs foundations for a high --
Joy and sorrow,
Tears and smiles,
Laughter while I cry.
Tuesday's sadness --
When comes gladness?
Smile instead of sigh?

If you want to learn to live, child,
Learn to let death die.

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.
