Worlds Apart
Written by LBM
From the album 'Songs from the north of the heart'
October 2000
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This song was apparently written about a young couple who had to
break a 6-year relationship because they both went to pursue careers
at opposite ends of the globe (Italy and Japan)
They never spoke for a year, finally they arranged to meet but due
to delays in transport they missed each other on that occasion and
consequently both blamed the other and never spoke again.
