about

I wrote this song for my grandma after my grandpa passed away.

lyrics

I am wandering home
I’ve been searching for the roads we used to walk on
You warned me to read the signs
I’ve been trying

(chorus)
But when the wind stole you away
I swore I had nothing to say
No, but, I never wanted to stay
No, I never wanted to stay

I knew you before time stopped
I tried to tell you that before you had to go
But the ghost in you couldn’t wait
So I’ll say it again, and again

Chorus

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
