“In Case I Go Again” Lyrics:

I like that when I come back home
I can always find you here
You know no matter where I go
That I’ll always come back home

And we wonder who we are
We can’t be sure
When all we do is wonder
Cause the future’s insecure
Just when I thought I discovered who you were
You change again

And I don’t want to run your life
But some things I expect
It makes me wonder why I try
Just to walk away in shame
In case I cannot stay
In case I go again

Everything still looks the same
Yet somehow I sense a change
But even after all these days
It’s nice to hear you laugh the same

And so we wonder who we are
We can’t be sure
When all we do is wonder
Cause the future’s insecure
Just when I thought I discovered who we were
We change again

And I don’t want to run your life
But some things I expect
If it makes you wonder
Why you try
Just to look away in shame
In case I cannot stay
In case I go again

When all we do is wonder
And nobody can be sure
When the world is going crazy
And nobody finds the cure
Just when I thought I discovered
What we were and who I was
Just when I thought I uncovered
Just when I thought I uncovered
Just when I thought I discovered who we were
We change again

This is the eighth step in the reproduction process I use for making my jewelry. I have removed all of the investment (mold compound) from the sprue tree with a pick and a brush. The assemble was placed in an acid bath known as “Pickle” after the video to remove the black fire scale before sawing, filing, sanding and polishing. Pickle pots cost about $150.00, I use a $5.00 Crock pot. (exactly the same except pickle pots aren’t adjustable temp like my $5.00 crock pot. :-p)
