More Stavesacre

Sunlight…
Such a beautiful day to say… Good-bye.
We try to look our best thinking of you.
How can I pretend when inside… none of this seems right, the timing isn’t mine
There were things we needed to make right
Was so long, i never dreamed that I would see the end, that we
Wouldn’t make amends, come short of reconciling, still memories remind me.
He was so calm, still and quiet, precious and powerless, but somehow strong.
He carried on… did he realize that you were gone?
I don’t know…
I see you in him. In voices, faces, expressions.

As long as I may stay, I will pray the same.
To live a life like a child
And never to forget what I know loving is.

To hear him speaking of you, he knew exactly what was happening.
Said you were born today, his favorite person in the world.
He’s different, a breeze of fresh air laced with a touch of somewhere familiar.
He’s tomorrow, he’s treasure and survival.
I walk the beach with him, talk the day away and when the sun winds down and the stars come out he…
could name one after you. As only a child could do.
Put you above and not behind him until the end…
A bright place just past the clouds and darkness, distance.

As long as I may stay, I will pray the same.
To live a life like a child
And never to forget what I know loving is.

Thinking of you beneath the trees on the side of the hill, just around the corner from me.
I miss you, I miss you.
Good bye, good bye.

Stavesacre is a band that I re-connect with every single time I listen to an album or song of theirs. They have spanned such a large part of my life, it feels like listening to an old friend with good advice whenever I hear Mark Salomon’s words.
