Recorded on a Fostex X15 four-track and mixed to a Pioneer boom box in Sinop, Turkey in early 1990.

lyrics

************
"It hurts when you look at me that way." Sheila said.
I didn't know what to say and shook my head.
"What has become of yesterday?"
She said "You promised me forever,
But our love is dead."

And I'm standing here, you're standing there.
I'm not even sure you're listening.
I don't even know you
And I'm telling you what Sheila said.

I asked "What did you expect?"
Sheila said "I don't know."
And it went on like that for quite a while,
The way that kind of conversation goes.
It went on like that for a while,
The way that kind of conversation goes.

And I'm standing here, you're standing there.
I'm not even sure you're listening.
I don't even know you and I'm telling you,
I'm telling you what what Sheila said.

And I got to thinking about what Sheila said
And I realized that she was right.
We'd been going round in circles all along.
I wish I had Sheila tonight.

After some time she began to cry.
And after some time, she stopped crying.
Sheila said "This is killing me.
Can't you tell I'm dying?"

(1990 Nimyonta Music)
