lyrics

I still can see you, beyond the blue
Through shades that let light pass through
And I think back to the times in the back seat as we drove through the countryside
I can still feel the sunlight on my cheek, a tender child so eager to see what was in a tree or on the ground
But in the ground, into the ground you've made your way
You've made your way
It's against my will to ask this but did you have to leave
Did you have to take that job

And I just wish, quite selfishly I suppose
That you chose a different path
That you chose a different path

And though I'm trying hard to let it go
Every other night when I'm alone
You're all I can think of
I can still remember last December
The night before you left

You looked at me straight in the eyes and said
"Son this will all be over soon
And I'll be back for good, this time next year"

"Everything will change, and for the better"
This was all before they called on you
To serve the land you called your home
And you were always so intent on being
Someone I'd, someone I'd be proud of

But these white sheets can't hide the truth
They covered you, your bones delude
There's nothing left now, nothing left for me

I first heard 7nightsatsea perform at the Esplanade in Singapore this past spring and haven't been able to get them out of my head since. The energy in their music and their performance was unbelievable. Not many bands can express so much without using words. Sarah Koch
