I wrote this song around 2004 after I heard a story about a girl who sent her husband off to war and he never came home. It’s infused with my own feelings of yearning and longing for a love that feels like home. I performed this song with my band Bella Swank throughout 2005, and then recorded this solo version when I thought going solo was a better, safer option. Whether that was right or wrong, it’s what happened, and now I am piecing together all the music we made together and apart. Sometimes the story of the music writes itself.

Lyrics and music by Summer Brighton, produced and recorded in Provo, Utah in 2006 at June Studios.
