To be honest, I wasn't really intending on participating like I did for 50/90 (planned it out ahead of time) - I remembered FAWM was a thing and just decided to write a song. I was (and am!) surprised at how quickly this song came together. It's about moving from a place you loved a lot and learning to live somewhere else for the next phase in life.

Inspired by Jonathan Ogden's songs "Blue Feathers," "Set Me Free," and "Again and Again" as well as The Paper Kites' new album "If You Go There, I Hope You Find It," and lots of indie folk! Sky Sailing and Adrianne Lenker to add on. Thanks for listening!

In keeping with the time I lost my frame of mind The mindset of a child

The frozen ponds are here And spring is coming near The green is getting clear

Sometimes I can't see why The flowers need some time The winds shift in ways I can't see But leaves fall again and fly free The leaves fall again and fly free

I drove across a line I knew would change my life And peace I'd hope to find

I cannot tell the way My future will hold It hasn't been the same The way I've been told Oh

Sometimes I can't see why The flowers need some time The winds shift in ways I can't see But leaves fall again and fly free The leaves fall again and fly free

Timing says it's alright Finding out I'm doing fine And closely you're showing the way Pushing the storm clouds away

Sometimes I can't see why The flowers need some time The winds shift in ways I can't see But leaves fall again and fly free The leaves fall again and fly free
