about

Written in the garden shed, this tune pays homage to the people who've stuck around through thick and thin. Specifically those who have grown and helped inspire growth while pushing through the darker moments spent on this "rock round a star".

lyrics

I'm right here beneath the scars
You're right here we've come so far
Love and fear know who we are
Left unclear, a rock round the star

I went down to the coffee shop to find myself astray
I thought and thought and couldn't stop today seemed like yesterday
and the day before not so far, not so far away, the day before yesterday

Cool breeze, pine trees sway
Memories of those days
You and me, light as feather, light as a feather

I'm right here beneath the scars
You're right here we've come so far
Love and fear know who we are
Left unclear, a rock round the star

You and Carl were talking shop and the sun came out to play
you talked and talked and couldn't stop let the topics fade, fade fade fade away
There's a time of day when we all bend and we all break

Turned the corner, waiter dropped a tray, drop in drop out
drop in drop out and fade the day away
they said you can go or you can stay,
they said, deep breath and big wave

Cool breeze, pine trees sway
Memories of those days
You and me, light as feather, light as a feather

I'm right here (4x)

I'm right here beneath the scars
You're right here we've come so far
Love and fear know who we are
Left unclear, a rock round the star
