A Letter Across the Miles
Folk-pop song with a 1970s feel: a mid-tempo strum with a dramatic minor-key turn, acoustic and classical guitars, piano, congas and bass, with a warm, earnest male voice. Bittersweet and caring, sung in English, about writing a letter to someone starting a new life far away.

Lyrics
I packed a little box for you todayWith things I know you’ll need along the wayA picture of the porch, a heavy coatAnd tucked inside the lid, a folded noteThe coffee pot is sitting on the standI hope you find a place to rest your handThe world is wider than this quiet townI’m here to watch you put your anchors downGo where the sun feels newGo find the best of youI’ll keep the porch light onEven when you’re goneGo where the sun feels newGo find the best of youIt’s strange to see the hallway looking bareBut I can feel your spirit everywhereI’m proud of every miles you’re gonna gainThrough every sunny drive and coastal rainDon’t worry if the first few nights are coldJust hold onto the stories we have toldYou’re brave enough to build a life so brightBeyond the reach of every local lightGo where the sun feels newGo find the best of youI’ll keep the porch light onEven when you’re goneGo where the sun feels newGo find the best of youI won’t say goodbye, just see you soonUnderneath a different kind of moonThe map is marked, the road is clear and wideAnd you’ve got so much goodness deep insideGo where the sun feels newGo find the best of youI’ll keep the porch light onEven when you’re goneGo where the sun feels newGo find the best of you
