about

it's soooooooo true what they say about it being hardest to write songs for the person you're actually with! something about the unrequited love is so much easier to harness than the one that's actually fulfilled. i owed my sweetie at the time one, for sure! (and had to convince him not to take it too literally.....) it was actually a totally spontaneous addition to the album, replacing another song (for sweetie :) that just wasn't feeling right. i thought for a minute, pulled this one out and recorded it in one take. that's kind of how my album went :)

lyrics

have you been missing
since i've been gone
have union duties kept the minutes
rolling on
have the nights kept you awake
until the dawn
baby i've been thinking of you
all and all along

here's to waking
to the life that we have built
here's to laughing
at the milk that we have spilt
and if every day we laugh
a little longer than before
i'll marry you forever more

from the window
of a train that's heading home
i remember why it is
i need to roam
but let me tell you
that the wind is at my back
and in your arms
is where i'm fixing to be at

here's to waking
to the life that we have built
here's to laughing
at the milk that we have spilt
and if every day we smile
a little brighter than before
i'll marry you forever more

and i can see you
in the trees out on the plains
and i can feel you
in my traveling aches and pains
if you were here
then i'd have kissing on the brain
i'm blowing kisses from this train

so here's to falling
here's to you
something borrowed
something old and something blue
here's to coffee
that's as black as witch's brew
i'm coming home to say i do
