Song #24 - Xandra & The Next Thousand Years

The all awaited X! hah. Everyone wanted to know what I was going to do for XYZ. :) Xandra is a pretty cool named... It is a form of Alexandra. I wrote this one on the acoustic but soon realized that it was better suited for the electric. This was a fun one to do... I added an ebow track too because... hey ebow is fun. Someday I want to be in a band and just play the ebow... :)

This is about one of those friends that can calm you down without even really having to do anything but listen... Their very presence is calming. We learn from these old souls, not to get stressed out the little things.

Xandra & The Next Thousand Years

Xandra takes a sip of her tea
Chamomile with a hint of honey
“Honey, why don't you pour yourself a cup, it'll calm you down?”
“And sit with me and tell me whatever is on your mind.”
She smiled at me and held a cup in her hand
I almost forgot all the things that are worrying me
And she poured me some tea.

Xandra listens to me
Ten. Eleven. Midnight. One. Two. Three.
A.M. Eyelids struggle. I doze off in my chair.
She looks at me when I awake and brushes the hair from my face
We walked to the kitchen hand in hand
And I almost forgot all the things that were worrying me
And she poured me some tea

Xandra has calming eyes
Like she's known me for a thousand years
Reincarnation always seemed so strange to me, but maybe it is true
“Xandra, I hope I spend the next thousand years with you.”
She laughed and she turned her head to me.
I realized that most things just aren't worth the worry
And she poured me some tea.

Ending:
Xandra has a way with me
When I'm worried
The way she looks at me
So comforting
Like Chamomile tea
Xandra has a way with me
And she pours me some tea
