The lyrics to this tune are directly related to the intimate relationship I had with Susan DeVita. Though we are and probably will remain good friends throughout this life, clearly as a romantic couple - boyfriend / girlfriend, we have reached a crossroads. Our planets do not align as frequently as they did from 2005-2011. Thus, Susan and I have called it quits as a team without ever really acknowledging the change over. Perhaps we never were a team but for a while it seemed that we were. And even though Susan often questioned whether our time spent together was worth it, I believe that it was. It's the journey - not the destination.

Note : The last line in the song is a deliberate quote from the tune "What's The Difference?" co-written with Meryl Mathews. Meryl and I had our time together many years ago. We still remain great friends.

lyrics

THE BIG CONCLUSION

Here we were together tracing problems in the sand
Stuck for some solutions and that got you mad
You said our relationship was a pointless waste of time
Why were we together
We must have been blind, but keep in mind

It's the journey not the destination that matters in the end
But we're waiting for the big conclusion everyday of our lives
It's the journey not the destination that keeps us on the edge to survive
But when the bus stops rolling another journey arrives

You and I are different planets each with different gifts
We would take from one another like twins
That instant magic - rare attraction had friends roll on the floor
Our brand of humor will leave their memories with smiles
and all the while

It's the journey not the destination that matters in the end
But we're waiting for the big conclusion everyday of our lives
It's the journey not the destination that keeps us on the edge to survive
But when the bus stops rolling another journey arrives

All this time you're wondering where you're going to
It's a mystery to me and a mystery to you
Well, I love a mystery
Do you love a mystery too?

Onward motion, like the ocean waves to us goodbye
Our trip is done
it's time to make other plans, so understand

It's the journey not the destination that matters in the end
But we're waiting for the big conclusion everyday of our lives
It's the journey not the destination that keeps us on the edge to survive
But when the bus stops rolling another journey arrives
