about

Recorded on a Fostex X15 four-track cassette recorder and mixed down to stereo on a Pioneer boom box in Misawa, Japan in 1988.

lyrics

**************************************
What am I to tell you? What am I to say?
It'd just be a metaphor anyway...
And would you listen? Would you care?
Would you leave me hanging in the air?
What can you tell me? What do you see?
Shall we just sit and watch tv
And let the hours slip away and turn to days?
I had nothing much to do anyway.

What am I to tell you? A story of a man
Who closed up the shop and turned to sand?
And through the window came the wind.
Someone tried to find a box to put it in.
An hourglass had washed up onto the shore.
I looked inside and felt we'd met before.
I turned it over and I waited, again.
I felt as if I were losing a friend.

(1988 Nimyonta Music)
