"Moonbeams and Sailing Ships"
© Copywrited all rights reserved
Moonbeams and Sailing Ships is a song that came about when the relationship I was in drifted apart. It is just a narrative in a magical way of the man's life over a period of time and the things that were important to him and the invitation for his return. Sometimes we see our loves move away and we need to write space in that gap for the return if only for to friendship and stories and in that way love continues.
