From the November 2019 album: "Sotto Voce"

lyrics

I've got stained glass on my wall
representing all four seasons
I've got white socks in a bag
on my piano and hanging in my closet
I've got ties with stains on them
that I'll never wear (and I don't care)
Light switch sun and moon
The moon's winking at me

My work is done here
I've made up my mind
I finally feel like
I'm not falling behind
My work is done here
And I'm alright

I already have a favorite dish
A favorite band and a favorite fish
There's no changing that I want to change
The idea of something new seems so strange
I will likely die before I ever
buy a tie again

And that's okay
My work is done here
I've made up my mind
I finally feel like
I'm not falling behind
My work here is done
And I'm alright
My work is done
And i'M okay
I've made up my mind
I finally feel like
I'm not falling behind
I've made up my mind
I've made up my mind

There's no changing that I want to change
The idea of something NEW seems so strange
I will likely die before I ever
buy a tie again
And that's okay
