"Choices made in fear. Choices led him here. They come and they stay. Many careless names. Never will be a man. Never his feet shall land. Golden hair of girl. Waiting for winter's turn. All things are just so. Troubled by a distant crow. Never could understand. Never her heart shall land. Tidal waves of rage. Tightly wound in cage. Grief, have at thee. Hooked, cannot flee. Never had the upper hand. Never his pride shall land."
Music and lyrics by Anna Bilbrough,  inspired by the poem 'Lone Whims' by Trillian Sharples.
