Joe, it's great to see you back!!We've missed you!
There’s a shadow on my daddy’s stone, where he was laid, laid to rest.
I ask him is this just a dream, or is it just another test?
I turn my back against the cold, I turn my face into the wind
And I wonder will I ever, ever make it home again?
Shadow on daddy’s stone, ten years gone, it seems
I ask him will I ever stop, ever stop dreaming dreams?!
He said never, never, never
This has to be the most hauntingly beautiful song Lindsey ever wrote -except maybe DWSuite.
This is the song that hooked me on the album because, like Lindsey, I lost my father in my 20's. It expresses so well what it feels like to lose a parent when you are young.
I bought OOTC because the Rolling Stone gave it 5 stars. At the time I didn't realize that Lindsey was the man behind FM's "sound". Once I heard "Don't Look Down" I knew who made that beautiful music. I've been a Lindsey fanatic ever since=:-)
