Back Story:

"Also originally recorded about 10 years ago, it was a song that I originally wrote with intent for Firelucy to play, which it was performed at two concerts with the band. The inspiration for writing the song was inspired by "Oh, Boy" by Buddy Holly and The Beatles' "She Loves You" as I am writing from a third person point of view encouraging the boy to show affection to the girl that is showing interest for him. Musically I hadn't really experimented with making anything other than the chorus or perhaps the solo the most climatic part of the song, so in this song it's the verses that try to reach up to heaven the closest."

Lyrics:

Did she say she's for you boy
Or shouldn't that be up to you
Tell me boy won't you tell her
Boy, so won't you

Boy, come to the ferry
Boy, because she's waiting there
She's waiting for you, boy
She's riding for you, boy

Did she say she's for you, boy
Or shouldn't that be up to you
Tell me, boy, won't you tell her
Boy, so won't you

Come to the seashore
She has a secret to share
Boy, because she's waiting again
She's tiding for you, boy

Did she say she's for you, boy
Or shouldn't that be up to you
Tell me, boy, won't you tell her
Boy, so won't you

Come fly to the moon
She has a star to be gazed
She's flying for you, boy
She's soaring for you, boy

Did she say she's for you, boy
Or shouldn't that be up to you
Tell me, boy, won't you tell her
Boy, so won't you
