about

For Jeff

lyrics

1. Enter a little boy, who fell down on his knees
from his shiny red bike. He's as happy as can be.
Was given his first hockey stick and he left it on the floor.
Cause there must be just a little bit more...

chorus:
He's busy building castles. It takes the spirit high living in the castles in the sky. And just around the corner - the good times and the bad. I think of all the times we've had...again.

2..He made up monsters that he fought and battled them with pride.
Wrote songs about them to anyone on his side.
Wilderness trips and floating ships take him far away.
They knew he'd come back again someday.

(chorus)

3. He moved away and changed that day from boy into a man.
Things were different where he went. He'd put up as best he can.
He loved...lost...broken heart. Then loved again once more.
Walked through fire and the pain...clean on the other side.

(chorus)
(bridge)
(chorus)

4. Many years have passed now and he's finally on his way.
The road he took has been oh-so-long. Not easy to persuade.
The future path is not so clear, but a shining light he'll find.
It has always been there right behind, right behind.

(chorus)
