about

A Strayhorn-inspired melody about the winter of loss.

lyrics

Rain is falling cold as snow,
Winter birds are quiet,
Traffic keeps its steady din
In a world without him.

Fallen fruit from summer trees,
Buried in the autumn,
Heavy clouds of grey roll in
In a world without him.

If I could I’d raise my hand
And stop the night from dawning.
I would trade a night of dreams
For all these days of longing.

Wind that shakes the willow tree
Just outside my window,
Breaks me like it does her limbs,
In a world without him.

If I could I’d raise my hand
And stop the night from dawning.
I would trade a night of dreams
For all these days of longing.

Wind that shakes the willow tree
Just outside my window,
Breaks me like it does her limbs,
In a world without him.
In a world without him.
