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.

Now its over and we both played a part
Oh worlds apart
