Low Island - Robin

Once upon a time
It all lay up ahead
A reassuring constancy
And you were always there
You flicker in the light
Can’t move you from your bed
What happens to a life
The experiences lived

I need to know
I need to know

You live on in my dreams
The friendship that we have
The journeys and the gestures
That make me who I am
Always carrying you with me
Everywhere I go
I can’t believe in endings
Can’t accept them
Don’t want to

But what do I know
But what do I know

Whenever I’m alone
Mind wanders to your door
How are you doing Robin?
What was it all for?
There’s nothing I can do
There’s nothing left to say
So much feels unfinished
I’ve left so much too late
I remember in the garden
A parachuting wonder
The waterfalls and chestnuts
My gentle grandmother
She showed me all the world
Before I knew of pain
She’d take me by the hand
She’d shield me from the rain

I loved her
I loved her
I loved her
I loved her
I loved her
I loved her

I’ll meet you there now don’t hold up
I’ll meet you there now don’t hold up


Cling to the thought of you
I can’t believe it’s done
I miss all of your stories
Every single one
And all the things we shared
Are wrapped up in this place
And beautiful and complex
The things you can’t replace
And I remember what you told me
When you had the chance
The parting is sweet sorrow
But it can’t hold us back
It’s heavy in the walls
The rivers in your hands
The journeys and the gestures
That make me who I am

I’ll meet you there now don’t hold up
I’ll meet you there now don’t hold up
I’ll meet you there now don’t hold up
I’ll meet you there now don’t hold up
