Story Behind The Song
I wrote the song for someone who was still pining for a love that got away and was still hoping they might reunite.
Song Description
This is a very picturesque song of love, loss and longing. It is reminescent of songs you might hear from Brazil by Jobim. The harmony and melody are very sinewy and it paints a picture of someone living in everyday beauty longing for the one they love. Everything reminds them of the love they once had and still hope to regain or find anew.

Lyrics
Underneath a starry solitude
Bathing in the shimmer of the moon
Constellations light up the sky,
jagged facets of sapphire
Paint a silent night a blacker blue
Mariachi strumming solitaire
Serenading words you cannot bare
Arpeggiations flicker and die,
like the love that was once mine
Hanging on a star no longer there
Hand over Heart
I am following you
Wishing you might have a song for me soon
In the blossoming June of the orchard's fragrant sky
There I'll lay in wait and wait until you're mine
Seasons come and seasons fade away
I arrange my heart in shades of gray
Gravitations flicker and fly, navigating the night sky
Hanging on a star you can't contain
Hand over Heart
I am following you
Wishing you might have a song for me soon
In the blossoming June of the orchard's fragrant sky
There I'll lay in wait and wait until you're mine
