Possibly more than any of their other songs, this song really shows-off Katie Noonan’s incredible, INCREDIBLE voice. I don’t think there is anyone alive who doesn’t feel a shiver down their spine when she hits that high note. In a word: Wow. The lyrics are some of the most romantic I’ve ever heard. They are actually a poem written by M.Challis, as are most of the lyrics from the album. Oh yeah, and once again, my amazing girlfriend sings this fantastically. Aww geez, it’s ALL love... :)  

Oh, and also, I had a look around, and these two tabs that I’ve done are THE ONLY Elixir tabs on the net. HAZAA! Aren’t I the coolest?

-|-1-----------1-----------1------1--1--1--1--| muting your strings at
-|--------------------------------------------| the end.
        Crescendo...                      

---------------------------------------------------------

***(NOTE: If you listen carefully, after the bridge section is 
played for the second time, you can hear a slight tapping
sound, like: -|-X---X-X---X-X---| Where the “X’s” are the taps. 
You can re-create this by simply tapping your guitar on the body
with your fingernail. Yes, this is almost useless information.
So what? Since when is attention to detail a crime?)
