Found this song the other night, it was written when I was around 14-15 yrs old after reading the book of the same name, by Hadley Irwin. The song is modified a bit from the story, and is only slightly less depressing than the book.
I had actually forgotten about this song until I "found" it in my old notebook o'songs I've had since I was maybe 12 or so. Proof that I've been writing songs about books even longer than I thought! :-)
Apologies for the blatant Rush lyrical rip-off in the 2nd verse. I was a young teen.... now I know how to make my riff and lyric rip offs less noticeable.

One day you're going to teach me how to play guitar.
Also, songs about books are forever in style. Love it.
