Most people—myself included—know it through Alana Davis's 2001 cover on her album Fortune Cookies. While it popped up on the radio every now and then, the album version is where it really left an impression on me. garsongsmusic.com

Written when I was at the tender age of 16 years old, this song is about the experience of a friend who was saying goodbye to his girlfriend as she ventured off for the summer to explore artistic adventures with a traveling show.
