about

This song is a reflection on being apart for an extended period from someone you love. Although it is not about that time or the situation, the song was inspired by one of George's daughters. Some time ago, she was studying in France for almost a year and it looked like she might marry a Frenchman she met while on Holiday.

The basic tracks were recorded long before we started working with Doug. Since there was a quality to them that we liked, we kept 'em, building on those elements many, many months later.

lyrics

As the night falls around me and the light of the day fades away,
I feel the light of your song and I’m not far away.
In the dreams visiting me, I see you and I hear what you say
And it seems that I really haven’t gone away.

I remember what you always told me:
stop and listen, and keep it right here.
And the wonder abounds; let it hold me.
You’re around – you are near.

In a storm, like a movie, time is still and then shines a light ray.
I am warm in your song and I’m not far away.

I remember how much you are in me.
Think about just how much I love you.
And the time doesn’t ever seem lonely.
Every sound and motion is you.

As the night falls around me and the light of the day fades away,
I feel the light of your song and I’m not far away.
