Name: A White Road
Duration: P00H02M25S
Description: This song started as a melody I used to hum to myself back in 2008 while taking long walks along Bayou St. John. I was falling in love for the first time and the melody made me think of the Greek Islands we would explore someday. Years later, I've finally gotten around to making something of it.

lyrics

All of this dreaming
And sleepy un-seeming
Has led me along
A white road

Aman, aman, aman,
Let the light fill your heart
With love

Spring is now humming
And I am just coming
To live with my heart
In the sky

Aman, aman, aman,
Let the light fill your heart
With love
