about

I had been in a rut with writing music, and sadly that year lost someone close to us. I came home feeling heavy & full so I picked up the guitar and sat on my bedroom floor, played around with some chords I loved and this song came out.

lyrics

so then I watched you fall asleep for the last time
I made a promise I would keep for a lifetime
it’s been so hard trying to sleep through the night time
I’m sad we never got to speak before you died

stay please stay, I can’t ever be the same if you go away
you can rest your head in the clouds now, you’re somewhere safe in holy town
hey, I’ll be with you there one day

these words go round and round again
I can’t ever say enough to him
all I wanna do is shout out loud
but I can’t seem to make a sound

stay please stay, I can’t ever be the same if you go away
you can rest your head in the clouds now, you’re somewhere safe in holy town
hey, I’ll be with you there one day

these words go round and round again
we sing come home, come home again
I need to hear your voice again one time.
