This song travels an invisible road - one that winds not through cities, fields, mountains and seascapes, but through memory, longing and imagination. A man who dreams of a girl whose smile and eyes haunt his heart. In the soft glow of moonlight they live only in the quiet spaces of his mind, on the highway of his dreams.
