    Story Behind the Song
    The song was written in Exmouth in Western Australia 2002. It conveys a message of helplessness for a loved one who is grieving thousands of miles away. It desribes the situation of being in an isolated town and unable to leave to help the person who is not well. It was one of those songs that flowed out very quickly. The words were written in an hour or so and music was little longer and inspired by a Simon and Garfunkle tune. The recording took about 10 takes to get the perfect mood bout was all done in 2 hours and a few bottles a red wine in front of a cosy fire.

    Lyrics
    Thinking of you in a northwestern town
    It's a picture perfect view
    But I'm distracted by you
    The erge to speak is strong
    But I'm short of change and time is not long
    All that I perceive
    A sweet voice but a tone of grief

    Now, it troubles me to know
    All is not well with you
    Now, it troubles me to know
    I can not be there to help you

    What else can i do
    My ride is days away
    I wish i could be there
    Geographicaly impaired
    Frustrating that it is
    I'm stuck behind the glass
    The distance makes the pain grow stronger
    Just as my heart is fonder

    Now, it troubles me to know
    All is not well with you
    Now, it troubles me to know
    I can not be there to help you.
