With the passing of my Aunt Nita yesterday...I decided to revisit and share this song. I wrote it about the words which surround us during times of loss. We all stand inside heartache in our own way. "Some days you let go / some days, you just don't know." - JDH
Gone (Days Like These)
v1
Whispered voices
In mid embraces
Say
There will be days like these
There will be days like these
Misplaced voices
In quiet places
Say
Just get through, days like these
You’ll get through, days like these
But no one said anything
About it lasting this long
I guess it is just the balance of life
Now that she’s gone
Chorus
Now that she’s gone
In these halls
In these rooms
An ache builds
A make-shift residence
Now that she’s gone
In these hours
In these days
A hurt buries deep,
Sparing no expense
Now that she’s gone
v2
Trusted voices
In family faces
Say
Get beyond, the days like these
Leave behind, days like these
Loosened voices
In good graces
Say
You’ll forget, days like these
Once familiar, days like these
And no one will measure
Healing finally comes along
And Time finds time to stitches up your heart
Now that she’s gone
-Chorus-
Bridge
Some days, You let go
Some days, You just don’t know
You find
You can’t measure a life by a life
As a son, Daughter,
Husband, wife
With lost goodbyes
And no reprieves
You find you stay
Though in your heart
Each day she leaves
-Chorus-
