Never missed anyone more,
I want to pack up and go,
Travel to you like in a dream -
But all the land in between,
A dear ticket to buy,
If I had wings, I would fly,
but I don't; dream, bye-bye.
As for my interest,
Never been so curious;
All that I'm aching to know,
But I'm not asking at all,
I never do it no more,
When I did, I got sore,
I got sore and no more.
Thoughts that keep me awake
With the direction they take;
Thoughts, they will do me no harm,
A little thought hurt no one,
A little hurt hurt no one,
But it's a shame and so sad,
I wish you were around.

Music and lyrics and recording by Catself.
Live recording with nothing done to it (except a little EQ which I managed to do in the TalentCast Radio studio in Groiningen www.talentcast.nl). I recorded it on tour, far from my studio. Live, acoustically, with a Zoom recorder, minutes after the song was finished.
* If you buy this song and I improve this recording afterwards, I will want to send you an updated version! *
(so please send me your email address - if it is a different one than you use for PayPal)
