From the recording Sometimes the Characters...
Stop away time, stop away...only to be continued in our minds. . .I love Mike's drums here, as well as Andy's fine guitar work. It was also a great pleasure to sing with my "inspirer", John Harris, on this one. I've learned not to refuse memories. A great memory will always be a great memory. Dedicated to you who know life starts over every day.

Lyrics
It's Got To Get To You
(©1994 Don McAvoy, MMP, Inc., ASCAP)
* Maybe it's all been said before
How nothing remains the same
We're not finding one another
In any one else or any other place
*** It's got to get to you
Really bother you
Gets under your skin
I know it does. . . sometimes
* Maybe silence is the answer
When there was so much brilliance in our scenes
And maybe mistakes are indeed the lessons
That we learn just as they lose their sting
** When you think that our best days are gone
As we search on and on
We're stubborn as the sand lying still on the beach
While our wishes are still at our command
* So this is how our story ends
As we collect the "what ifs" and the "thens"
Imagination is now our friend, our closest friend
For we're the ghosts that resurrect when memory. . .
Calls again
