Hi everyone,
So I’m very excited to announce that Jambrains & I have joined forces in a songwriting partnership and have called our band “Sky Lanterns” (no, not because we’re on fire!!
but because we have no clue where we’re going!!
)
This is our second song “Silent tears”. Jam had an old backing track lying around for years that he wanted to salvage. I wrote some lyrics and here we are...it’s actually a sequel to my own song “Phantom Love” and I’ve been wanting to write this one for ages.
Songwriting can be excellent therapy!
All thoughts are very welcome...

Through a window of a memory
I can see us laugh together on that rusty swing
Little did I know that those were literally the days
And you’d go, never to be seen again
I tried so many years to hide it
Couldn’t numb the pain
It’s hard to let you go
With all your blood running through my veins
So I decided I would try and find ya
In spite of everything...but no.
In the meantime, I wrote a song
Pulled my heart out of my chest
Called it phantom love
Oh, but barely had the pen left the paper
When I received a letter, telling me, they found you, but sorry
You died just three months before
Oh I tried so many years to hide it
Couldn’t numb the pain
It’s hard to let you go with all your blood running through my veins
Oh the irony of being so close, yet so far away
I don’t know how, I’m supposed to feel, it changes by the moment.
I tried so many years to hide it
Couldn’t numb the pain
It’s hard to say goodbye when you were never there anyway
Maybe I’m a fool for dreaming we were something I could save.
It’s all too late,we’ll never know,perhaps it’s for the best.
Now I’ve got a little boy of my own
And if there’s one thing that you taught me
I won’t let him go....
