ANOTHER STORY
Words and music by Debbie Ridpath Ohi and Allison Durno
1998

Am     G              F             G
Six o'clock, and the lights go off around me
Shadows drift across the floor
Rows of books line the shelves from floor to ceiling
Voices I cannot ignore

Every night, I choose a new adventure
Turn the pages one by one
Hours go by, before I know it
Another story has begun

CHORUS: 
   Dm                  F                     G
   I'm the whimsy of children, the music of dreamers
                       Am
   The longing of the soul
    F                          Am
   All traditions of the ages, and hope for tomorrow
        G      
   The glamour and the horror
                        Am
   I'm every tale ever told.

Now and then, I try to remember
How it was I came to be
A gift of words, a shapeless hunger
Is this my dream or memory?

(Counterpoint)
Something in the darkness sighs
seeking a friend
Come out and play, stay with me...please?
How will it end?

(Counterpoint over verse)
Every night, I choose a new adventure
Turn the pages one by one
Hours go by, before I know it
Another story has begun

INSTRUMENTAL:

CHORUS:
    I'm the whisper of wonder, the heartsong of freedom
    The writing on the wall
    All of love's pain and passion, a cry of revolution
    the mystery and silence
    I'm every tale every told.
