James Whiteman - Sky Light Grey Lyrics

I'm here, I'm still here
And I will always be here

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched
He sang then stared intently
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball
Repeat performance

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here
