The lyrics aren't simple, either. They're extremely difficult because I'm trying to say complicated things in as few words as possible.

Songs are so all-encompassing; they're the joys and sorrows and pacing of life.

I am, I said to no one there and no one heard at all, not even a chair.

Home's the most excellent place of all.

I Am... I Said is a very complicated song and its complicated probably because my feelings were very complicated when I wrote it.

Maybe tonight, maybe tonight by the fire all alone you and I. Nothing around but the sound of heart and your sighs.

I've always accepted some kind of deity, especially as a songwriter.
