(25/8 & 13/9/1996 Gregorian)
Bending like a tree in the wind
Searching for a place to begin
Try to please all, or no one but me, to feel this way
Time entangles all the other things to get in the way
What to choose to live for today
All the rest are meaningless anyway
Without you
Without you in my wigwam
You, only you
To me, the base to rise to the point
So symbolic like the bend of a joint
An elbow rising out of the sand to show me the way
I try to juggle all the balls in my hand and spinning plates
Come crashing down
All around my wigwam
Letting go...
Hard to do but when do you learn
The only way is to watch it burn
Hard to do but when do you learn
The only way is to watch it burn...
Without you in my wigwam
You, only you
Bending, like a tree in the wind
Bending, like a tree in the wind
Bending
Audio recorded live in France in 13512 UCC (2011 Gregorian) by Michel Griffin
This one is about always trying to please everyone else and then getting tired from doing that and so ending up bending the other way to only try to please yourself instead! But also realising that sometimes it's all a bit meaningless without that other important person in your life being there with you in your "wigwam". The subject was my then wife and I wrote this one for her
You could also take it that that other important person was actually you all along...
