This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…

This just pulled me right in! You have some GREAT tone on that guitar, and your fingers . . . How do you get them to move so fast?

I see the boats sail past
And the winter's closing in
I can feel the changes from within
