Late Spring for Ursula

Story behind the song

The melody for "Late Spring for Ursula" came to me many years before the lyric. For a long time it existed only as an unfinished piece, waiting patiently for the right words. Those words finally arrived while recording Silver Lining, allowing the song to become what it had quietly wanted to be all along. The title is a quiet tribute to a fictional character whose story stayed with me long after I first encountered it. What moved me most was the realization that love can arrive unexpectedly later in life, and that opening our hearts is worthwhile even when that love is not returned. There is a quiet courage in loving without expectation and in finding grace in letting go. Rather than retelling another story, I wanted to capture the feeling it left behind. The song became my own reflection on hope, late love, and the enduring belief that it is never too late for the heart to awaken.

Lyrics

Long ago and far away My life before this fading day I filled my days with love and hope Built on time I failed to note Then today with nothing to lose I found that love sometimes will choose The lonely heart one last time
