about

Guitar tuning is FACGCE capo on the 2nd fret.

This track is about my mom. She died in 2018 to cancer. She lived her whole life in a wheelchair and it never stopped her from doing anything.
I love you mom. Me and dad miss you every day.

lyrics

There was lightning in the air
the night I lost my mother
and every time I see my dad
she's hanging in the air
she said

"Son, look for the redbirds, and you'll see my spirit there.
These old legs never walked, so in death I'll take the air."

And I know that I won't
Ever be at rest
'cause while she was alive
I never did my best
and If she's looking down
on all of us today
I hope that she knows
I'll never let her fade
(i'll never let her fade)

Maybe, I'll just wait for spring
and flowers won't be the only thing that blooms

all of this is so much like a dream

sometimes I call the old house
just to hear you on the machine

when no one's looking is your spirit with me?
