lyrics

Whoever you are
Is with you through the grave
Even though you want
To leave it or to save

Such mad things, you and I
Kings of a land unfurled
To think we leave the past
And walk on through the world

If only we can know
The layers of the self
We would never try to leave
Our youth upon a shelf

The who we know would fall
If built upon thin air
Throw the bones of a colored past
And move on when you’re there

Rich the treasure that we keep
And every day we've seen
Travels along upon the pass
Of what will be and has been

from The Double-Cross, released February 21, 2006
WHOEVER YOU ARE (Sorbye/Reynolds)
Just like Dorothy, what you need most is with you all the time.
