Lyrics

Saturday
I watched you fly away
Across the empty sky
I turned around and waved goodbye

And now it's me alone
It's just an empty home
That's on an empty street
In a town that always sleeps

    And a blind man in the darkness knows no difference
    But I have grown accustomed to the colors that you bring

I check the dial tone
On the telephone
But when I try to speak
The reception gets so weak

I took an hour's drive
Into the countryside
The sky was bright and clear
But it was cold without you here

    And my mind is turning back before I knew you
    And the numbness was the only thing I'd ever really known
    And I was home

        Long ago, I was happy by myself
        Long ago, it was me and no one else
        Long ago, and then I saw your face

I got a photograph
Beneath a sheet of glass
Inside a cherry frame
But it is never quite the same

It's just a memory
A spot in history
But that's no good to me
When I am living here and now

    Oh, I've tried to make my peace with all the silence
    I have tried to patch the cracks, I've got my finger in the dam

    And I've tried to find contentment in seclusion
    But I will never really smile till the day that you return
    Till you return

This song was so sweet and captures the mood well. My hubby is currently living away at a police academy so it feels more personal to me. Love is tested when you are separated by distance.

Thank you

i was browsing for weddings in belgium and came across this page: http://www.christophe-flers.com. with the beautiful pictures, and your music in the background, i couldn't help but feel my heartstrings pulled.


  i googled some phrases and found your website. i then realized the song is actually very sad,... but when i heard it , i just thought of only beautiful good things and it made me tear up.  i thought of how i watched him "fly away" eveyrtime (we've been on long distance for 5 years now).  its amazing how a sad song could be so happy  too and how i wish your words could be tweaked to an incredibly happy one -  its quite perfect for a slow dance. your song made my mind "turn back before i knew him" and how beautiful life is now.  he just proposed last week.

Thank you so much for the song, (and to the photographer who is using your songs!) i hope to download your other songs and hopefully hear you on the radio!!! keep it up!!

beautiful!!!
Hi! Well, last night, my boyfriend sang this to me. We're currently in a long distance relationship. We're going strong. The lyrics describe exactly how it is to be apart from the one you love. I was wondering if you might have a backtrack to this song... I want to sing it at my school's talent show. :) This really is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
