about

I wrote this in about 2005 I think.

lyrics

Heard it in the moonlight
Sounded like a call
Or maybe just the leaves were whispering
I really don't recall
But it was there in the morning
And I took it down the stairs
Stayed with me through school and suddenly
I didn't seem to care

Cos there was nothing else I could do
Yes there was nothing else I could do
And it's true

Lying in the gutter
Staring at the stars
Cos nothing ever mattered much to me
But being where you are

Climbing up the mountain
The summit is so far
Tell me am I getting close to you
Or am I wishing on a star

So I kept it beside me
And I thought I heard it sing
People said I dreamed my life away
But I didn't hear a thing
And I concentrated harder
And I learned to sing along
Soon I knew the chords and melody
And then I had the song
