Very beautiful song Robert! Man was that cello ever an inspired choice! Nice work with those harmonies along with the lead vox! Wonderful melody! Fabulous ending! Thanks, Torrey

A very beautiful song - the combination of the excellent choice of instrumentation, sense of rhythm and pacing, and the well crafted lyrics create a wonderful atmosphere and feel. The vocals really carry the song, and convey a distinct sense of longing, tinged with joy.

Chris,
Thanks for your listens and positive comments!

Best to you. Be safe ...

That`s very kind, Al- thank you!

I appreciate your thumbs up on this!

Ok, those are interesting alternatives...if I revisit this.

As others already said; the cello fits so nice in it, a good instrument for this song!

And -as usual- brilliant lyrics!
I hope one day I can write one of this kind...

A very enticing lyric, and overall very well done.

Peter,
Nick Drake wrote a lot into very simple lyrics- if this reminds of his style I`m happy.
Thanks for commenting.

Thank you, Mr T!

Janne,

Superb. Trademark sensitivity from you, wrapped up in - at first, at least - perhaps deliberately ambiguous and cryptic lyrics. You are certainly one of the very best poets on this site, both lyrically and musically. And: your songs are like balm to wounds. Whenever I feel like screaming internally, I know that, if you've put a new song on here, I'll be calmer (if not necessarily happier) about my lot. Acoustic balm for the soul. Thank you.
