lyrics

Autumn rain slowly
Falls on my window pane
Takes me back to a time before last winter came
All her leaves show their colors while my summer fades
Autumn rain
Won’t you wash away December’s pain?
Though we know what’s happening
Take this moment and make it sing
In the garden
She planted seeds and he would tend to them
In the morning
All those bright colors would return again
Once in bloom
Now a curious November gloom
Golden light turns to dusk to show it’s ending soon
While he sleeps
I’m reminded of the fondest truth
Once in bloom
Now at peace within our winter’s womb
Though we know what’s happening
Take this moment and make it sing
In the garden
He planted seeds and she would tend to them
In the morning
All those bright colors would return again
Though we know what’s happening
Take this moment and make it sing
In the garden
They planted seeds and now we tend to them
In the mourning
All those bright colors will return again

His debut album 'Something Like This, But Not This' (independently produced and released in early 2021) is a soul-satisfying musical representation of love, loss, and reluctant acceptance. ... more
