LYRICS

I am your neighbor
but I am a stranger
nobody knows me
knows my name

I’m a captive
like a bird
Im a captive
in a cage

In my reflection
I see an ol man
through dirty windows
a shadow in the rain

I’m tired of living
feel like I’m sinking
just lil ol me,and my nicotine stain
lil ol me, and my nicotine stain

What has become of my life, and my family,
Oh my wife, my loving wife
my children I can not see
can not see

What has become of my life, and my family,
Oh my wife, my loving wife
my children I can not see
can not see

No body told me
how my life would end
in such helpless misery
now I’m tired, tired and lonely
won’t somebody help me
rescue me
won’t somebody help me
and rescue me

What has become of my life, and my family,
Oh my loving wife
my children I can not see
can not see

Doorstep to my heart

Doorstep to my heart – an instrumental played on a modified 12 string guitar in lap position with a slide. The tuning is open C#m and allows for those haunting mellow tones to resonate deeply and elevate the human spirit to that beautiful other place.
