about

Recorded on a Fostex X15 four-track and mixed down to stereo on a Pioneer boombox in Sinop, Turkey, 1989. In Sinop are the ruined walls of a castle, parts of which date back to the Hittites.

lyrics

*************************************
They say that a man's home is a castle
But can you make a castle a home?
4,000 years, waiting and wondering,
I walk through the castle alone...

4,000 years... Who walked these walls before?
4,000 years... Who walked these walls before?

Forever and still I'm a stranger
Unimmune to the danger of being alone.
4,000 years, my heart slowly turning
As cold and hard as these walls of stone...

4,000 years... Who walked these walls before?
4,000 years... Who walked these walls before?

They say that love can be a hassle;
I'm looking for trouble and waiting by the phone.
4,000 years... Do you think you've seen the future?
I will walk through my castle alone.

(1989 Nimyonta Music)
