Story Behind The Song

Been there done that! Like many people, especially those of the male variety, I have struggled with control issues. My way is the right way, control my world...blah, blah, blah. Through years of soul searching and spiritual journeying, I finally learned to surrender to the divine presence, and my life has improved drastically. This song somewhere along the awakening continuum while I was still in frustration.

Song Description

Using the 4 seasons as a metaphor this song explores the tendancy that many of us have to fight nature, fight God, fight the universe..this tendancy we have to be in control. It is only when we surrender to the universal forces that we can truly begin to llive in our highest and best form of expression. The man in this song is beginning to realize that yet he is frustrated because his habits are engrained and he realizes that he has to let go of all he knows and relinquish his need to be right and to control.

Lyrics

Winter?s coming again my friend
I can feel it coming on

I felt a cold wind blowing down
the streets of Babylon

And its been such a long time.
Yeah its been such a long time

The fruits of summer are long gone now;
some are still dead on the vine.

The winds of change have stripped the clinging l
leaves that just stopped trying

And its been such a long time,
yeah its been such a long time.


(Chorus)
Why do I run? Why do I hide?
When will I face the truth?
When will I, I, I ali-gn?
When will I align?


The cold and barron landscape has got me
chilled right to my bone.

There?s loving eyes around me
yet somehow I?m all alone.

And its been such a long time,
yeah its been such a long time.

Seasons come and seasons go,
they?re always right on time.

I can bitch and I can moan and they don?t
pay me any mind.

And its been such a long time,
yeah its been such a long time.
And its been such a long time,
yeah its been such a long, long lonely time.
(To chorus)
