The rhythm of this track lent itself perfectly to my thoughts of travelling home on a train from a weekend spent with my girlfriend. Lots of my songs are about feelings, images and shadows from the past; I owed her one that was about the here and now.
So, hey Philly, this one is for you!

FOREVER GIRL
Getting on that train
Was the hardest thing I’ve done
Blinded by the gaze
Of a thoughtful setting sun
And I already miss you
And I long to kiss you again
Flying past these towns
Of ten thousand different tales
I think of all the love
Separated by these rails
And I feel quite alone
And I long to phone you again
CHORUS
Hey Philly
This one is for real
I wrote it for you
This distance won’t change the way I feel
'Cause I’m gonna follow you
And you know my love is true
Forever girl
Checking off the days
Can feel like such a waste
But I know we’ll make it up
With our indecent haste
And I already miss you
And I long to kiss you again
CHORUS
