Mastered by Todd Rittmann

I’m only trying
To help you through the day
Your time is coming
And it’s too late for delay
All I’ve got I’ll give to you
If you will waste it away
Until your absence resounds
And then you slip through the waves
And you’ll be dying

Dying
Only dying
Dying
Dying
Only dying
Dying
Only dying
Dying
Only dying
Die for me

You’re only dying
Try not to be afraid
Somebody’s calling
But you do not know your name
All you’ve got to give away
Is what remains of the day
You turn your face to the ground
And then you drop through the grave
And you’ll be dying

Dying
Only dying
Dying
Dying
Only dying
Dying
Only dying

Dying…
Die for me…
I’ll be there to see you through…

I’ll be there for you…

For you…
I will be your love forever…

Wild Card

A Return

“A Return.” A very old song. Originally recorded
(on cassette) in 1981. This is a version from
1983, recorded on 4-track reel-to-reel, featuring
Scot Ashley on guitar and Thymme on piano,
synthesizer and trumpet. The murkiness is due
to the fact that Thymme hadn’t figured out (and,
truth be told, never really did) the tape machine’s
equalizer.
