A song written a few days ago when I woke to see heart breaking news photographs of war and separation of families in the Ukraine.
I won't leave you
I won’t leave you, you’re the apple of my eye.
Mother darling, come close, please don’t cry.
Above our heads is a world in disarray.
Let me hold you. We'll wait for a new day.
They may shell our buildings
Set the sky alight with flames,
Justify their actions,
apportion any blame
I won’t leave you, I’ll be right here by your side.
It’s time to go. In your hearts, I will reside
Travel safely until we meet again.
Today is winter across the bleak terrain.
They may shell our buildings
Set the sky alight with flames,
Justify their actions,
apportion any blame.
They may shell our buildings
Set the sky alight with flames,
Justify their actions,
apportion any blame.
I won’t leave you, you’re the apple of my eye.
apple of my eye,
apple of my eye.
