lyrics

The clock on the wall says its time but I don't believe it
'Cause that clock tends to lie anytime that you're leaving
We say our goodbyes under starry skies
But nothing compares with the stars in your eyes

The calendar says it's May but I don't believe it
'Cause That calendar lies in the same way, it's so deceiving
A month away to the day feels like too long
So until then i'll write this song

They say that every dog has its day
Well I just that's just something they say
They say that there's plenty of fish in the sea
But not for me 'cause i'm not fishing anymore

And I will write you a song
To sing you when you're gone

A melody, a sing-a-long
To keep me with you when you're gone
To keep me busy when you're gone
'Cause I really miss you when you're gone

about

Andy Wakeman Manchester, Connecticut

Singer-songwriter Andy Wakeman is an old soul and that's reflected in his writing. Thoughtfully written songs are delivered with an indie-folk bend to them. Wakeman's songs are the type of tunes that could be performed with a full backing band, or with just the man and his guitar. - Chip McCabe, Lonesome Noise ... more
