This is a song I started around 8 years ago. I wrote it shortly after my mother passed away. Unfortunately, I can't sing, so you will have to put up with the instrumental version for now. Check the lyrics page for the lyrics.
There is nothing to see here...
Lyrics
Days Gone By (total time: 9:56)
Part I: "Better Days" (Instrumental) 0:01-2:44
Part II: "Blue Skies and Sunsets" 2:45-7:04
Justify so I won't cry
While they give her to the Earth
Bitter cold, clear blue sky
I never said goodbye...
Not a sound, this hallow ground
To us she had given birth
Pastor man said the prayer
I never said goodbye...
Close your eyes, reach into the skies
I wish she were still alive
Couldn't stand to watch her die
So I never said goodbye
Lousy day, this brigh blue sky
While they bury her in the Earth
Just too bad that day was hers
I couldn't say goodbye
She will never cease to be
Neither chained nor free
I will never say goodbye
She's still alive to me
(Spoken)
I had to wake up
From my warm afternoon nap
I knew you would be there...
I dreamed of you again
Tears stained my boyish face
I looked up and saw you just in time...
Behind the crimson, peach and gold
Behind the Sun, glowing bold
Only the sunset keeps me from you...
(Sung)
Looking down, can you see me?
The color in the skies blinds my eyes
I would reach up to Heaven just to hold your hand
But I can't see past the colors to the promised land
Part III; "Days Gone By" (Instrumental) 7:05-9:56
