This song is found in Chapter 14 of my book, "Room at the Top of the World." This description is too long...you'll just have to read the book on this one. In short, we were both struggling with the idea of a relationship half a world apart.

Kippy's acoustic lead guitar was totally improvised.

Lyrics:
As you lie there asleep
Alone in your bed
I sit and play guitar
And thoughts fill my head
I wonder what you dream about
And if I have a place
Among all the hopes and doubt
I wish I could erase

I need to tell you something
From the very start
You hold in your hands
My fragile beating heart
---
It’s been used and abused…used and abused…used and abused…it is bruised
---
How can I trust anyone
But I want to trust you
I can’t afford no hit and run
I need love to be true

Bridge:
I can’t explain how it got there
I don’t remember pulling it out for you
But I see that my heart is in your hands
And I hope you see it too

The ball is in your court
Now the choice is up to you
Maybe you should hand it back
If only this you knew
It needs too much attention
It requires too much care
But what it offers in return
Is far beyond compare

But sleep now my Angel
And trouble not your mind
This worry is not for now
Of this I am resigned
But the morning brings a new day
And the question will remain
And since I tend to run away
It’s best not to refrain
Don’t refrain
