'Time is Leaving'

You know the feeling of looking back over your past and realizing that you've wasted a lot of time? ya. That's the emotion i was trying to capture here. I use a lot of 'time' imagery; one of my favourite lyrics is "one turn on an axis made for dust"... ya, this earth is just spinning around on an axis, and we're all just dust. Bleak. Wow. "Spend some time with me again" is my plea for conversation.... at the end of this life, what I will care about the most is the people i've invested time in and the people who have done the same for me. In this chorus, however (in my my personal case), i'm talking about prayer with God. I wrote this song during a depressing time, when all i could focus on was the temporary side of life. I knew that conversation with God was my way out. 

'Child Sleeping"

The chorus and concept was loosely inspired by psalm 131. I wrote down the entire lyric in a 10 minute sitting (almost exactly as seen here). I wasn't intending to write a song, just journal a prayer. Incidentally, it was Christmas Day 2005. A few days into recording during the late summer of 2006, I added a melody, showed it to Nathan, and was convinced to record with my other tracks.
