I was in Innsbruck when I heard that my grandmother had died. This song is about her and others I have lost, and the pain of hearing that kind of news in a faraway place.

I walk the streets goin' nowhere
Thinkin' about what they told me today
You left the earth
One soul lighter
I'm walkin' nowhere, nothing to say
I'm walkin' nowhere, they told me today

I lay down in the night, your life on my mind
I can't forget you sleep leaves me behind
I see your face
Your smile for me
I lay down in the night, in this lonely place
I lay down in the night, I see your face

I had a dream that I saw you again
You said you loved me and then took my hand
I saw your eyes
I heard your voice
I had a dream, I saw your eyes
I had a dream, for you I cried

As I lie still here, I remember when
I was a young boy and you were so strong
You laughed like a warm wind
But your hand was firm
As I lie still, that wind I hear
As I lie still under the weight of my tears
