Angie Foster: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

This was written about a karaoke bar in Japan and my good friend who ran it. He passed away not long after I had moved back to the states and I wondered what it would be like to go back there after he was gone.

Stripped down before my eyes

I struggle with these remains, Hey

The pictures cannot disguise

The things that have changed, Hey

So I hold on to faded truths

And cling to memories

When I go back there is no proof

Of you... And me

I want you to stay in my life

Though you’re no longer here

But I wish you well

How could it take so much time

To describe the way I feel

But I wish you well

Frightened by what wasn’t mine

I’ve seen it all before, Hey

Time and again I will try

To walk right through the door, Hey

So I hold on to faded truths

And cling to memories

When I go back there is no proof

Of you... And me

I want you to stay in my life

Though you’re no longer here

But I wish you well

How could it take so much time

To describe the way I feel

But I wish you well
