"Sam Beam, Singer/Songwriter"

I get to thinking,
Could the Connecticut,
Carry me to you?
Oh, I long to try,
To float on down,
And wash ashore
In that bay.
Like a boy from the sea,
Sent from Neptune,
To you.

But I sit,
In the darkness
Of my living room,
Playing this guitar,
Thinking of you,
As I watch the fireflies,
Dance a moment more.
They can dance
While you’re away,
And put a smile
On my face.

-The title to this song is indeed an Iron & Wine reference. Well...I guess it's not really a reference. Rather, you could say, I named the song after Sam Beam. The reason for that is, when i thought up the second stanza, I was sitting in our half empty living room, looking out our new door, while playing "Fever Dream" by Iron & Wine on my guitar. It's a beautiful song. I couldn't really think of anything better to name it. So I just credited him with giving me inspiration.

Goodnight,
Matt
