about

Started on a plane from Florida to Boston 6/11/00,
Lyrics finished on a plane from Austin to Boston 3/20/01,
Music finally added mid-2005

Sometimes inspiration is immediate. When I finally finished this, I had to record it immediately - flu and flu medication be damned!

lyrics

i drove 'til i saw i was lost in
some city that resembled boston
from the air

but being on another coast
i knew the car had made the most
of getting there

now that i neared my destination
i left it at its new location
and just walked away

and you may not want me anymore
but when i find your front door
here's what i'll say

sometimes the wrong thing
is the right thing to do
i will find you, i will find you

as i walk the mem'ries come
got time to visit every one
like a dear old friend

the flower smell of your shampoo
hits me like it was brand new
all over again

laughing over frozen mudslides
crying on amusement park rides
falling head-first off the bedside
swimming in the full moon's tide
driving hours just to touch you
the blinding snow we had to cut thru
you'll soon find out just how much you (still) mean to me!

ch:
sometimes the wrong thing
is the right thing to do
i will find you, i will find you

(there's an unfinished bridge about walking all night or something.)

as new sunlight sings to me
i think i found my destiny
on a quiet street

the phone book told me you live here
but i feel the spark now that i'm near
turning into heat

and i'm reciting lines like it was King Lear
to an actor trying to save his career
from certain hell

but i can't recall a fucking thing
so i just smile as i reach up and ring
your door bell
(and i finally say)

ch:
sometimes the wrong thing
is the right thing to do
i will find you, i will find you
