about

This song was written for and about my lovely cousin.

lyrics

I was born in a world devoid of conclusion
where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison below
With moist, glossy eyes, and soft hands, and no weight on my shoulders
I silently watched as the passing years started to grow

Oh we were just children
Oh how we had nothing to conserve
Our first dozen years misremembered in a haze of reluctance
Nothing but time, nothing but meaningless words

When I was young my front door was made out of flowers
and the roof over my head was none but the wisest of trees
and the voice of the fields and the intimate thoughts of the ocean
regarded the passage of time as leaves in the breeze

Oh what a strange existence
Oh how I have no regrets
A life not lived is a life with no complication
The bitterest taste is the hardest one to forget

Oh we were just children
Oh how we had nothing to conserve
Our first dozen years misremembered in a haze of reluctance
Nothing but time, nothing but meaningless words

Nothing but time, nothing but meaningless words

anhedonia, etc. (new demos)
by Greg Zoller

Greg is a fine songwriter. Often creates a quietly frantic intensity. I would imagine a spider would play the guitar in a similar manner to Greg. I miss his companionship as much as I do his music. Derek Roe Eller
