"In November 1997 this song was a herald of the coming turbulence in my life but bat the time I didn't realize it." - Brian

lyrics

As I went out walking, November rain against my face
The sounds of bones and leaves crack'd 'neath my heels
And I wondered why I was sent so much pain
And what are the lessons I need to learn this time.
This time, this time.

I had a bout of happiness but it passed away
In and out of love takes too much time
But sometimes at night the moon chills the room
I need you to keep me warm
And I swear to the god I won't screw up this time
This time, this time

I needed absolution, all I got was solitude
And I'm insecure enough to think that's just
Past embraces turn to smoke, once again I'm all alone
And in the end, I guess, it was up to me all the time
This time, this time
