It was so many years ago
When you left to find your dreams
There was so much I didn’t know
Oh how long ago that now seems

Well this island wasn’t big enough
To contain the fire inside of you
And though the ocean, well, she can be rough
You needed her to be to get you through

Across the waves for a better life
Across the raging sea
Across the waves in the bitter night
Across the waves without me

I’m so proud of the things you’ve done
And the light that you shared
All you wished you have become
I only wish I could be there

Across the waves for a better life
Across the raging sea
Across the waves in the bitter night
Across the waves without me

Across the waves without me

by Stephanie Gilliard

Progressive Metal Guitarist, Drummer, Bassist, and Keyboardist.

Thx for visiting and listening, I am an amateur guitarist, play a little keybord, bass and drums too. I love music.

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
