Story behind the song
written in 2007
Lyrics
Drops of rain fall outside my window like falling stars of crimson and gold the past tries to haunt me over and over evil shadows hidden of old Those days are gone forever fleeting memories washed from my mind looking forward I see my emerald city adorned in silver and with no time so close your eyes and dream today close your eyes forget yesterday close your eyes live each day close your eyes keep on the way morning has arrived with the promise of a new day looking forward I stumble as I make my way news surrounds me like a cold biting wind keep my head up as I make my way the days grow darker as the promise grows closer frozen pictures of times gone by through the cycles of our lifetime stand up stand up smile, your on your way
