Letters to the Sky (For Ryan)
Tears streamed
We sickened with sadness
Bargained and ached
Longing for a brother, lover, friend and son
Only our hearts know
Grief is love with nowhere to go
The truth is he took
A part of me to heaven
I wear his name around my neck
Knowing that I'll love again
But my frail body aches
Knowing that I lost a friend
My nights are dark without your starry eyes
Six months without you made me realise
That I'll be writing letters addressed to the sky
For the rest of my life
18 months, time was ours
Twisting sheets in the early hours
Brown eyes, looking into mine
I caught you dreaming with our hands intertwined
Now I'm haunted as
Your lover left behind
Never knew I could miss so much
The truth is he took
A part of me to heaven
I wear his name around my neck
Knowing that I'll love again
But my frail body aches
Knowing that I lost a friend
My nights are dark without your starry eyes
Two years without you made me realise
That I'll be writing letters addressed to the sky
For the rest of my life
Oooh, ooh
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My nights are dark without your starry eyes
Three years without you made me realise
That I'll be writing letters addressed to the sky
For the rest of my life
We sickened with sadness
Bargained and ached
Longing for a brother, lover, friend and son
Only our hearts know
Grief is love with nowhere to go
The truth is he took
A part of me to heaven
I wear his name around my neck
Knowing that I'll love again
But my frail body aches
Knowing that I lost a friend
My nights are dark without your starry eyes
Six months without you made me realise
That I'll be writing letters addressed to the sky
For the rest of my life
18 months, time was ours
Twisting sheets in the early hours
Brown eyes, looking into mine
I caught you dreaming with our hands intertwined
Now I'm haunted as
Your lover left behind
Never knew I could miss so much
The truth is he took
A part of me to heaven
I wear his name around my neck
Knowing that I'll love again
But my frail body aches
Knowing that I lost a friend
My nights are dark without your starry eyes
Two years without you made me realise
That I'll be writing letters addressed to the sky
For the rest of my life
Oooh, ooh
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My nights are dark without your starry eyes
Three years without you made me realise
That I'll be writing letters addressed to the sky
For the rest of my life
