Story Behind The Song
We were living 2 separate lives for most of our short 5-year marriage (ended by her death at age of 53). She penned these words for me (we talked every other day on the phone) and corresponded by mail a lot... I sat down with them and wrote a tune she never lived to hear...
Song Description
Wife penned these short lyrics (not intending for it to become a song; the musician in me absorbed the words and came up quickly with a melody/chord structure that I thought really did her thoughts justice...

Lyrics
Our deserted island
Just you and I
Away, away... into the yonder
Blue sky wonder
Just us two
Away, away... freedom and fire
Nighttime luster
One on one
Away, away... Far, far away....
Our deserted island
Just you and I
Away, away... into the yonder
