lyrics
There’s a gossamer thread
that guides your heart to your home
it’ll never break no matter how far you roam
When I was younger I could not wait to grow up
and hit the big city
The lights and the bands & the bars and the bums:
my new life felt gritty
The people I’d meet, the books that I’d read,
the late night “All Happy”
I found philosophy, I found a new me
as I criss crossed the country
You can’t be faulted
for feeling the tug in your heart
follow the pull and it takes you right back to the start
There’s a gossamer thread
that guides your heart to your home
it’ll never break no matter how far you roam
Now that I’m older
I pretend to know better & recall my memories
Like ink on a paper distorted by water
with images shifting
We piece together the things that we were
they shape this moment
now look at yourself and know that tomorrow
is built from your choices
I know today I’m different
from anyone I’ve been before
but every new day stands on
what came before
There’s a gossamer thread
that guides your heart to your home
it’ll never break
no matter how far you roam

Alec Harryhausen writes very sharp songs for Dream Version (and he also plays a bit on 'Getting Older'). Check out the song 'Backdrop Painters' Doug Hoyer
Do you like GUITAR!?! If so, you will probably dig this great record. 1/3 abstract patchwork, 1/3 solid songwriting, 1/3 a sick band doing what they do Doug Hoyer
