	"Jimmy Buffet meets Jim Croce" I've been told about this one and I accept the compliment since I love both those guys. Listen for yourself and decide. If its a homage to them., it was unintentional.

	Story Behind the Song A hotel room window overlooking a rainy Northeast city at the end of an extended bit of travel provided inspiration for this "island" tempo song full of longing for home and loved ones. Lyrics Western Avenue You must have been a beautiful baby to become such a lovely child You must have been born of noble parents to have so much natural style It must have been in one of our previous lives; I know I've been with you before Even after years this conversation's still alive like guys that play chess by telephone Out across the rooftops of this rainy Yankee town Someone's singing his love to you I hope the sun is shining where you're walking now In the flat prairie town off Western Avenue You must have been like a falling star; the way your light captured me You must have been like a waterfall to slip away so gracefully It must have been you I've seen when I dream; in the morning I recall details Seems I was a vessel on the open sea, I heard your voice and it filled my sails ©2002 James F. Curley
