My first song of FAWM 2013. Written by me and performed on acoustic-electric ukulele.
lyrics
The blustering gave us excuse for shelter
And morning rain appeared to wish us goodnight
In the safety of the dark I held her
And mistook a cellphone's glow for twilight
Stay here with me
Time will envy as it may
Make us both free
Before the break of day
Your fingertips upon me feel familiar
And sing to me of times that we let slip by
So my hands will serve to you as filler
For near-missed memories you try to grip tight
Stay beside me
Leave your fears out in the storm
Don't let this be
Another lonesome morn
And you don't have to miss me
I'll always be here
In your eyes
Stay within me
I'm made stronger by your gaze
Don't let me be
The only heart to go astray, so
Stay here with me
Let time envy as it may
Don't turn and see
The heartless break of day
