Song Description

Semi-ballad I wrote that fused a eulogy written by an anonymous woman who lost a nephew to heroin addiction and my own experience with a failed relationship.

Lyrics

well hello
it's been a long time
i know it's late and i won't sleep
i remember your runaway days
and how you came back to me
i was a man who wove a memory
that couldn't be
since we had to say goodbye
welcome home sunshine

you had a hole
in a worn heart
to keep it from breaking apart
you loved the things that most of us pass by
with a growing box of your spare parts
you left a hole that lets the light in
with a lonely grin
it was a dream i woke up from
welcome home sunshine

we're alone in the doorway
i know it's late and i won't sleep
i miss your smile
i see you everywhere
and you don't care
since we had to say goodbye
welcome home sunshine
