In cart Not available Out of stock

My mother fell and broke her hip and 6 weeks later she died. I was devastated - had started a couple of songs and heather heard them as I tinkered with them. The further along the songs got, she felt me paying a little more attention to the other one and told me I was missing an amazing opportunity with the B minor one (the key this song is in) so I explored it further. When my mom passed away I finished it within a week. I can sing this song easier than talk about it.

Lyrics

Ever After

Moving through the room
I was looking back to see just where you are
Six weeks by your bedside, praying for a miracle
Or shooting star
Every night i see your face
Every morning there’s not a trace

Cruel is the daylight
That doesn’t let you see what you know is true
I can hear your voice
And see your smile that i would always see, when i saw you
It’s so lonely in this place
It feels I’ve fallen from grace

I don’t know how to grieve
I just can’t believe that you’re gone
I can’t even breathe
There’s only memories left to linger on
Left to linger on

The further we went on,
I knew something was wrong
I felt it in my gut
I thought Pandora was joking
When she said some doors that open won’t ever shut
Like a lion in a cage,
My hands are fists of rage

I don't know how to grieve
I just can’t believe
That you’re gone
I can’t even breathe
There’s only memories left to linger on
There’s a war i gotta fight
For my faith down here tonight
I’m not that strong
I can’t even breathe
There’s only memories left to linger on
Left to linger on


Ashes will scatter,
Love was all that mattered
When you were here with me....

I don’t know if its true,
I heard you got somebody knew
Watching over you
They say you moved uptown
And the place that you got now
Has got a lovely view
I wish you were still here
It’s not the same without you dear

I don't know how to grieve
I just can’t believe
That you’re gone
I can’t even breathe
There’s only memories left to linger on
There’s a war i gotta fight
For my soul down here tonight
I’m not that strong
I can’t even breathe
There are only memories left to linger on
Left to linger on
