about

A deep and devastating song originally written by Slumbering, which I dedicate back to her with love and thanks. It was emotionally very challenging to record. I've never come across a song which so perfectly captures a crushing sense of loneliness, but it has such beauty in its bleakness.

Most of the instrumentation was played by me, with cello contributed by Daniel.

lyrics

Don't go
No, no, my love
I hear you above
Don't go

Don't know how long since I died
Or how I can know I'm shut inside

But I hear you above
And I'm longing
For the world that I love
For belonging

I can't forget
I can't let go
Let me return
Don't go

Oh, to see the birth of Spring
Feel it soften
Or even to feel the earth
Just outside my coffin

I dream of the sky
Of ascent
And I ache for your skin
And I'm helpless within
This torment

I need to breathe
I need to be free
Of this body

I cannot scream
Can only dream
Even the dreams they smother

I can't break through
Can't reach you
Or any other

I can't forget
I can't let go
Let me return

Don't go
No, no, my love
I hear you above
Don't go

To all strangers passing by
Here lies a ghost that cannot fly
So sing her a lullaby
That she may rest
