Story Behind The Song
This song actually was started involving one of Todd's personnal relationships , but then years later tranferred to to the break-up of my own marraige, so the lyrics were adjusted accordingly.
Song Description
this song has a haunting, Phil Collins kind of feel \ very introspective and yet conversational. It would work well as a vocal track behind a sensitive relationship scene of some sort.

Lyrics
Hey, old friend \ here you are again
after this trail of tears has your search brought you back to here \is it over?
we shared so much \ but you've been out of touch
how it broke my heart \ you gave yor love but just in part - so small a part
but whatever has happened \ I'll always want the best for you
and pray that the window stays open for you to discover the real you
Hey, old friend \ you want to try again
you long for something more \ how can you think it's inside my door
when , like before,
it is not just the" Wrongs" we cannot bring along
but misguided "Rights" that we prize - they must also remain outside
all denied
but whatever will happen \ I'll always want the best for you
and pray that the window stays open for you to discover the real you
Hey. old friend...
