about

This is saying goodbye to a loved one as they fly far, far away.

lyrics

I’m all alone in Chicago
Had to see my baby off
Next time we meet I don't know
I ain’t checking my clock

Well, we’ve been running the rivers
Climbing the rock
Swimming the seas, yeah
Singing our songs

We've been surfing the hands of time
All along
Now that you're gone
I’m all alone in Chicago

I’m all alone in the window
Waving at nothing there
Just the wind that you flew on
Left behind nothing but air

Well, we’ve been running the rivers
Climbing the rock
Swimming the seas yeah
Singing our songs

We've been surfing the hands of
Time all along
Now that you're gone
I’m all alone in Chicago

I’m flying home all alone
See my baby on the wings
Watching the setting of the sun
As she floats into the breeze

Well I’ve been running the rivers
Climbing the rock
Swimming the seas, yeah
Singing our songs

We've been surfing the hands of time
All along
Now that you're gone
I’m all alone in my heart

Alone in my heart
(Gone, long gone. Gone, long gone)

about

SHIMMER ISLAND image

SHIMMER ISLAND Austin, Texas

“Shimmer Island is unique among the endless links and releases hitting my inbox as a radio presenter. There’s a deep soulfulness in their music. A timeless, almost genre-less, universal quality recalling electronica, folky-pop music, and the reflections of a strong singer-songwriter crafting songs that stand out … out of time, yet familiar all at once.”

- Marc Fort (Amazing Radio) ... more
