Since I've been an adult, it seems that I can't stay put in any one place. From San Francisco, to Seattle, to Honolulu, the East Bay, to Pocatello, to Boise, to Champaign. I find a tension in moving around that is on one hand disturbing, but on the other, a very exciting part of life. Keeping in touch with those who have enriched my life, tho' is difficult.

Where do you want to go?

I'm Going Away (1992)

I guess it’s time again now for the leaving
I guess that home for me is hard to find
I’m closing books on chapters that I’m reading
You’re the legendary girl I left behind

You came into my life when I was lonely
Never asking questions of where I’ve been
I wish there was a way that I could only stay with you
but we know the truth, I’m on the road again

chorus

I’m going away, I’m going away
and it’s one for the money, honey, two for the show
I’m going away, I’m going away
and I only think it fair that you should know

It seems that I’ve only come to know you
Now the only time we’ll share is yesterday
There’s so many things I’d like to show you
but it always seems my life gets in the way
