Tue 25 November: Written and recorded for the 2014 NaSoAlMo solo album in a month challenge. Clunky old bassoon, voice.
lyrics
The winter nights are closing in
And the frost entombs the land.
Love, two thousand miles away.
I can only wish and dream to hold your hand.
Perhaps next year, we finally shall live
Hand in hand, our destiny to share.
First, the law we must surmount.
So until that time, we'll love across the air.
In twenty days, I'll travel through the sky
To be with you amid the winter snow.
But love, when three short weeks have passed,
To the lonely shores of England I must go.
