Where Are You Going?
Winter 1986
Michael was a member of the SCA for about a year before he took his own life. He had shown no signs of depression, but suffered from terrible migraines that caused him to black out and lose blocks of memory. It is believed that it was during an attack one night that he became irrational and hanged himself in his bedroom in an effort to stop the unbearable pain.

Where are you going, you wanderer weary?
Where are you going this cold moonless night?
Where are you going with your cheeks pale as lilies?
You cannot get far in the pale candlelight

The sunlight has faded, your burden is heavy
The path you have chosen is narrow and long
Wait 'til tomorrow, and I will go with you
By daylight we'll choose the road we'll walk along

Remember the Spring in the depths of the Winter
Remember the dawn in the dark of the night
Remember the sound of your own merry laughter
Remember your dreams when you wake in the night

(instrumental)

Where were you going you wanderer weary?
Where were you going that cold moonless night?
Far from the daylight my song cannot reach you
Did you find what you sought in the still of the night?
