	A song for Gail and a statement of personal philosophy, coupled with an observation on the art of song-writing itself. The approach when you're 40 is very different from that when you're 20 - it's not that you care any less, but perhaps you understand a little more. And yes, the dragon and the sea-horse do exist and they're both very happy.
	Credits: Words and music by Chris Rogers.
