A story-song inspired by all the Harry Chapin albums I've ever heard. Definitely a song of how a plan will fall apart the moment you put it in action. Jan 1983

Chased my second wife across a continent to gain her love. She ran until she let me catch her. Now she is gone forever to that empty abyss. Her death in 2014 was a heavy blow… My third wife was a friend from high school and we were reunited after 40 years through Facebook. Husband, father & grandfather. Disabled Veteran, U.S. Coast Guard.
