About "Paths":
This is a song about not seeing someone for a long time and playing catch-up with them, trying to figure out what they are really telling you. I wrote the lyrics for this song about my good friend, Melissa Dellos (Swetish), who I had just gotten back in touch with. I have written many songs for Missy, unfortunately she was killed in an automobile accident before the CD was completed and she never heard this song.
* The CD is called "Third Wish" and the three wishes described in the lift were a reference to the original name of the band. Also, The "Wind though the chimes, hushed by time, now awoken" line is referenced at the beginning of a later Missy song "Without A Net" from my solo CD "Deep Sky," where you hear chimes ringing and then being being grabbed in a fist (to signify the loss of her beautiful light).
The face I remember
Graced with a veil of age
For a moment
All my lines have escaped
School in September
The end of an era in may
Then the summer
When both our directions had changed
Children will wish for the future
And then wish for what they've outgrown
One more to do it all over
With all of the questions and answers now known
Wind through the chimes
Hushed by time
Now awoken
Did you dance in the leaves or hide and sek
The paths that you've chosen
Both of us grown now
Both of us set in our ways
Will tommorrow find us again out of phase
Have we made a difference
In the lives that we chose to embrace
Have we taken
The paths tha will lead us to grace
Children will wish for the future
And then wish for what they've outgrown
One more to do it all over
With all of the questions and answers now known
Wind through the chimes
Hushed by time
Now awoken
Did you dance in the leaves or hide and sek
The paths that you've chosen
On my mind
All of the feelings unspoken
Over time
The years that I've missd
Closed like a fist
Open now
Show me how
Children will wish for the future
And then wish for what they've outgrown
One more to do it all over
With all of the questions and answers now known
Wind through the chimes
Hushed by time
Now awoken
Did you dance in the leaves or hide and sek
The paths that you've chosen
