about

A song dedicated to my sister, an incredibly strong, beautiful, inspiring individual. This song is a combination of genuine emotion and love, and literary/metaphorical content to further the important themes.

lyrics

I can tell
someone's pulling the strings of your heart
and you're faithfully responding
It's plain to me
You're potters clay, a mangled beauty

By the maple tree you'd clear your mind,
You'd wonder whether there's an answer
You'd look up to the sky with hopeful
Eyes

I can tell
something's trying to pull you down
but your feet are firmly planted
Those honest eyes,
they sometimes speak your strength that's inside

By the maple tree you'd sit and pray,
your faith was stronger than your body
I watched you out the window one summer day
to watch how you slip
Away

Do you know
my love is deeper than I can show
Please promise you won't go
I close my eyes
I see our house, and you're running inside

By the maple tree you left your book
when you were a little girl
You wondered why the stories always looked
better than real life

Soon we'll be
somewhere with peace like the maple tree
I promise, we'll be going
You're halfway there
Just hear the sounds and breathe the air

By the maple tree we'll leave our past
We'll wonder what is there before us
We'll embrace a calm that will always
Last
