Description
This is a song about a family member and a friend who each lost a child in accident and illness. You can mourn and move on from most deaths, even if the absence of a loved one is always felt, but to lose a child seems impossible to ever move past.
Lyrics
What ribbons from cinnamon & sandalwood an eye squints when the sun flares the spirit runs where it must not dare dredge sepia dredge memory, a patch of ground for family A string of blue slips from the fingers of a child to chase a lost balloon gone into the air like ribbons from cinnamon to sandalwood an eye squints when the sun flares the spirit runs where it must not dare. dredge sepia dredge memory, a patch of ground for family an idling car a sideways glance a father’s pain and empty hands dredge sepia, dredge memory Life can be so fleeting, and time so relative. There are no words to give, For a hole inside a soul, a sense of permanence. We can begin again. Now it’s over yeah it’s over forever it’s over but you can’t walk away dredge sepia dredge memory, a patch of ground for family an idling car a sideways glance a father’s pain and empty hands dredge sepia, dredge memory
