Recorded directly off the dicey FM airwaves on a very overcast morning on a college campus, this is an abridged version of my first live radio appearance, on KUCI-FM, as part of a program called Record Store Memories. Host Lorraine Chambers was kind enough to invite me down for a full hour to share stories and songs… the first of several appearances on the station in the coming months. During the interview, I already acknowledge that this song will become the title track of my first album, four years before it was to be.
lyrics
And when my body fails me
I will cry no more
Take my tears and give me
Life forevermore
It's just a phase
We must all go through
And when you think of me, child
I'll come back to you
These are the things
Handed down by God
And I'll be there to greet you
And things won't seem so hard
With these phases and changes
Phases and changes
I'm only here for you
But I could never stay
A hero to guide you
But now you must find your own way
It's just a phase
We must all go through
And when you think of me, child
I'll come back to you
These are the things
Handed down by God
And I'll be there to greet you
And things won't seem so hard
With these phases and changes
Phases and changes
Phases and changes
Phases and changes
