THE STORY:
The first verse is about an old Australian guy he met when he was busking
in Switzerland. The old guy was listening to Mike play, then came up to him
afterwards and started chatting to him. He told Mike that he had booked a big
trip around the world with his wife, but sadly, she passed away before they
left. He went on the trip anyway though - Mike thought this was brave of the
old guy, because Mike gets scared travelling around the world even though
he's young and normally travels with others.
The second verse is about a woman he met when he was playing his guitar
outside of the hotel he was staying at. She came out crying and told Mike
that her boyfriend of 12 years had just left her for a younger woman. So they
just talked and smoked the whole night, and he played some songs for her
