TURN makes sense in terms of rhyme. I think it has to rhyme with BURN. And turning homeward makes more sense than anything I've considered: yearn, learn, spurn.

FAINT also makes more sense to describe the guitar. I pulled a number of lyrics more from the chorus than from Petina.

I'm not sure about THROUGH THE PAIN and NEVERMORE, but I'll listen to the recording tomorrow through a headset. I had it in the car with me today for a road trip. I just don't sense that the character's in pain. There's more a feeling of longing. But some of the lyrics seem less precise than Wright and Forrest's work on other shows. My memory of A QUIET LAND is better than the actuality.

And I forgot there was a second recording though I think one in my life is enough. And I'm in LA, so inter-library loan is a bit extreme on several levels.

Again, thanks.
