This is a Pre-Mixed/Pre-Mastered version of this track, though roughly completed, some minor levels and mixes may change upon final release.

About this track: This song was originally the opening track of Swearingen's first album under the moniker "Archimedes Sketchbook." The demo was released in 2006 and then in 2007 with the album "Clockwork logic." The fundamental ideas of the original were preserved but some parts were added and removed to improve the song drastically. The song was re-recorded with Eric Swearingen on all instruments (guitar, drums, bass) in 2014 and is slated to be released along with multiple other re-makes of old "Archimedes sketchbook" songs on the 2014 album "In Retrospect."

For Elizabeth, my love.

Lyrics:
It's quite a long way
Across the ocean
From Illinois to Catalonia	
But that doesn't mean you
have slipped my mind
Your heavy on my thoughts tonight

And I want you to know, that I miss you so
And I want you to know, I'll never let you go
And I wanted to say, that I wanted you to stay
And I want you to know, that I love you

Enjoy your stay, girl
I hope the weathers lovely
'Cause back here at home it's
nothing short of ugly
I've been short of sleeping
Because alone it's hard to
But I've been dreaming
And their all about you

And I want you to know, that I miss you so
And I want you to know, I'll never let you go
And I wanted to say, that I wanted you to stay
And I want you to know, that I love you

Right next to the moons where you'll find our star
If your lost let it guide you back to my arms
No matter the distance, we're never apart
Just close your eyes 'cause I wont be far

And I want you to know, that I miss you so
And I want you to know, I'll never let you go
And I wanted to say, just one more thing...
I wanted to show you that I love you.
