Hey guys. This is a song that basically came out of another song I had knocking around and it just grew and grew until it became almost another song entirely. I'm not a wizard on the production side of things but I do try. What do you think?

I sat by the trees with their shadows on my knees
I saw a candle burning in the doorway of a sailor
I sat by the trees, and I counted down the ways
I've pushed away the ones who just tried to get close
Judy sits adrift by her window
Says shes had enough of suicide scenes
And I have had enough of village greens
When the shadows move in and security fades
Oh it kills my soul, that's for sure
And here comes Joe with a broken arm
Says hes had enough of cold flats and class
He says he's leaving for some Canadian shore
He tells me he's just waiting for the ice to thaw
Oh it kills my soul, that's for sure
Back where this belongs
That's where I leave my things
Over that hill where the sun is
That's where I leave my mind,
That's where I leave my mind
Kick a suitcase down the stairs
There's nothing for me no more
Over the hill where that sun glows
Far away from these trees
Far away from this pain of mine
Far away from you
