Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I could have went many different ways but this one I think captures what I envisioned.
As of 8/28/12 I uploaded a remastered version for anyone who had listened to it prior to that date.

...something very Dylan about it. Especially like it where you break it down to just your voice and the arpeggios.

Well, it sounds very "now". I love folky strings. Really lovely vocal too.

Oh, gorgeous. Agree with David about the Celtic flavour - and I love the 'coming home' feel - super sweet vocal also.

Yes . . . This is a keeper! The bridge is a nice effect for resetting the song.

Yep sirree... Love it. I'd love to hear how you were originally trying it as well. It sounds like a song that could benefit from all sorts of approaches (well, what song couldn't). But I like this string arrangement.
