This is a somber apologue of a young woman who longs for the touch of her long distance lover. She is distraught that their time together was so brief and short-lived, so she sings to the stars every night – in hope it reaches to him.

lyrics

Baby,
Wherever you are tonight
I’m sending this lullaby
In hope it reaches to your heart

Crazy, crazy
Time is boundless and cruel
Like that it changes everything
And spins you like a fool

It was only briefly,
Now I must let go

Love rushed in
Then pushed us out
Two drifters lost at sea
Laden by the moonlit night
A sailor’s tragedy

It was only briefly,
Now I mourn for you
