about

"It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but retire a little from sight and afterwards return again."

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

lyrics

You were there when I crawled
When I stood and when I'd fall
The letters that you wrote to me
Gave me light in misery

You were there to wait for me
When I sailed back out to sea
To bury men who fought with me
... when it felt wrong

You were there through all the times
Winning hands and welfare lines
When I got back on my feet
... and carried on

And now
You need
To know

That it's time
For me
To go

I could always see your smile
in the faintest light
Shining like the stars shine bright
... guiding me back home

How I love to hear your sighs
See the years in your laugh lines
Cheer me up in a minutes time
... never alone

Chorus

You forgave me when I lied
Showed your heart like a litmus sign
I knew you’d be forever mine
... if you’d have me

I know we had some fights
Tried to hurt with all our might
Broken glass from our tail lights
Silent days and sleepless nights

In the morning when we woke
I’d try to patch up all we broke
Apologize to your sad eyes
... and you’d forgive me

Chorus
