lyrics

down by the river you walked
by the sea you ran
through the trees you ambled
through those clouds you swam

and all i can think of is you
all i can think of is you

you were my best friend, my dear
you knew me best, now it's clear
you held me close while i cried
i changed the subject when you tried

to tell me all the things that we'd do
to tell me your love for me was true

and now you're far from me
you used to be so close i could hear you breathe
you asked if you could stay there for good
i said maybe, but maybe you should

think twice before you say those words
think twice before you give me your world

down by the water you think
of all the things you wish we'd done
you dive in so deep
i say, baby, you should keep

a little back for yourself
when you fall for someone else

about

Lyra Will Melbourne, Australia

Lyra Will plays songs of love, lust and loss with chords and resonant quietudes. Using the tropes of traditional songwriting her folk based songs sound out small lessons learned about learning to fight,
holding on tight and the gentle art of letting go.
Her songs of innocence and experience are old and new, borrowed and blue, and she has a whole new swag of them on her new album, 'Letting Go'. ... more
