about

This is the song that started the novel. It informed the story and drove the plot. I imagined these two characters way down at the end of their lives and a deathbed conversation they might have. At the time of its writing, though, there was no Zen or Ellie. They developed as I began writing. The story of the novel doesn’t take us to this scene in their lives. I’m keen to know if they end up like this or not. We’ll have to see…

lyrics

At the time of my passing
Will you still be asking
If I love you like before
Oh, you silly thing…

At the time of my passing
Will you still be asking
If it's you I adore
Oh, you sill thing…
Of course

At the time of this waiting
Will you still be debating
If my heart was ever yours
Oh, you silly thing…

At the time of this writing
Why am I still reciting
Those same words from long ago
Silly thing, you ought to know
