come away, come away
away from trouble
away from care
come away, come away

away from fear
may the cool wind find you

dreams yes,, sometimes fun, sometimes heroic, sometimes bittersweet,, you have nailed a bit of our national soul,, very well done,,, i hope more here at at give this a listen R

Very nice Richard it seems so celebratory and yet private in a way. Loved it.
It’s been a while since listening to a tune of your Richard a moment to think and contemplate thank you
Very nice and relaxing tune- I almost could see the clouds!
Dave and I enjoyed this very much! It was the song the quartet played at our daughter’s wedding as she walked down the isle!
This is beautiful, the notes hang in the air like snowflakes lit by a full moon.
Beautiful composition Richard, I really enjoyed it
