This is a really, really old song Kevin and I wrote together. It's really reflective of our early songwriting, with a lot of different parts and not a whole lot of the verse-chorus thing. I just did this today for fun, there's a lot of sloppy playing and mistakes, but it's gratifying to compare it to the demo we did ten years ago and see how much better it sounds. :) It's not an easy song for me to sing, I think I'll have to warm up into this if I'm going to do it.

Waltz'n by brotherwren
Lyrics:
I waltz with the wind, her light fingertips on my waist
A waltz in the wind, and the brush of her lips on my face
I feel the winds blow and I see the ground flow far below me
And all I can see is the beauty there waiting for me
Like birds and the bees flying high above trees
Or a beautiful dove I'm in love
Now I look down see the ground and I freeze
Oh my, I'm too high
I tumble and fall in my panic and fear
And I think that she blew me a kiss
And her beauty and grace I can see in her face
As I beg her to dance with me more
"I'll miss you!" I cry as I see her recede
And her beauty fades into the mist
And straining my ears to hear her reply
I don't even hear a goodbye
{All I can hear is the rush of the air
And the sound of my tears as I cry}
With a thud and a crunch, I gracefully crash to the land.
The waltz in the wind has left me standing alone on the sand.
And impossibly high, I see a few clouds floating by
Through the blueness and sunshine, the birds gently drift through the sky
"I hate you!" I cry, shake my fist at the sky,
But I stop.. and I breathe, and I sigh..
And straining my ears to hear her reply,
I hear her soft whisper "Goodbye..."
