Lyrics:

You were like sunshine in the rain. 
You were like music where there’s pain. 
You were the dancing at a wake. 
You were the joke I shouldn’t make. 

You were the dolphin in a lake. 
You were the show that’s just too late. 
You were the push when says to pull. 
You were the eating when I’m full. 

And I’ll think of you as bravery. 
Unwilling to concede. 
Your charm sometimes unwanted -
Is the you I miss the most. 
So I’ll think of you when I laugh too loud. 
I’ll think of you when I say the wrong thing. 

You are the whispers in the wind. 
You are the sun that burns my skin. 
You are the seasons that I love. 
You are the moon and skies above.

You are the kindness in the world. 
You are a strangers warmth and smile. 
You are the stars that never fade. 
You are the love that never does. 

So I’ll think of you as bravery. 
Unwilling to concede. 
Your charm sometimes unwanted -
Is the you I miss the most. 
So I’ll think of you when I laugh too loud. 
I’ll think of you when I say the wrong thing. 

And now I fear that I’m alone. 
How will I fit in. 
But you never tried. 
To be anyone but you. 

So I’ll think of you as bravery. 
Unwilling to concede. 
Your charm sometimes unwanted -
Is the you I miss the most. 
So I’ll think of you when I laugh too loud. 
I’ll think of you when I say the wrong thing. 

And I’ll know I’m loved. 
And I’ll know I’m loved.

I wrote this song for my Uncle’s funeral. He was a man of many faces, and this is how I choose to remember him.

Lyrics:

There is the old me. 
The one who lost her way. 
Taken by fear and anger. 
No one could take her pain away. 

She’s lost in longing. 
Of what she doesn’t understand. 
So she chooses the wrong thing. 
And wishes love would take her hand. 

She’s a lost girl and everyone’s to blame. 
But wake up girl - you don’t have to play their game. 
Oh dear lost girl your heart can’t hold the wait. 
So dear lost girl let go. Of what you claim. 

She stopped believing.
In what she holds in her heart.
Let the darkness keep leading. 
And chose to keep love far apart. 

She’s a lost girl and everyone’s to blame. 
But wake up girl - you don’t have to play their game. 
Oh dear lost girl your heart can’t hold the wait. 
So dear lost girl let go. Of what you claim. 

But then she woke up. 
It was that or the end. 
She saw the light once again
Chose the path although hard. 
And started to dream once again.

Lost Girl
