about

This song is part of the soundtrack of the Gestalt novel "Return to Argenthome" Zander wrote a few years ago. (A story with songs always meant new songs as well.)
We recorded it in February 2015: It already had one of Z's infamous synth arrangements, and I just added the vocals.
The lyrics are a bit hard to understand, so I put them up here, too.
And I'm wearing my Gestalt t-shirt in the photo, really, you just can't see the logo! :)

lyrics

The dust motes in the dried up fountain
Have formed into a pattern I recall.
The clouds are making shapes I find familiar;
There has to be a meaning to it all.
And as I try to map the madness
A sparrow sings the tune I wrote last year:
A more suspicious girl might think there was something going on around here.

Last time I told you I was leaving
To try to find the truth behind my lies
You quoted me a dream that I'd forgotten
And the answer to my quest was in your eyes.
Now every time I read the tealeaves
The Morse code message shows up all too clear:
A more suspicious girl might think there was something going on around here.

A more suspicious girl might wonder
Why the last time we had thunder
The lightning burned your name into a tree:
A more suspicious girl might question
The insidious suggestion
That there's something between you and me...

There isn't very much to go on
The evidence is tenuous, it's true
I've no real reason for suspecting
The universe is in on this with you.
But yet I think I'll stay the winter
And test the omens out again next year:
And maybe then I'll know if there's something going on around here.
I'll stay right here,
Till the meaning is clear.
