DESCRIPTION:
I've always loved this tune. I rewrote the verse lyrics, in case you didn't notice. If you're feeling this, give my original music a spin at myspace.com/adammcheffey.

my rendition:
over on the island
many years ago
my sister played a song for me on grandma's piano
sure, the chords were simple
but the words they fit so well
and till this day i hear them
ringing like a bell

oft in dreams i wander
to a grayish past
among the rows of blooming birch
we would fall and laugh
still my heart beats heavy
but of course those days are gone
so hold me till the morning
tell me i belong
