Lowell Priestley - June Lyrics

We walked down to the shore in the eye of the storm
Your favorite places the winds kept us warm
A month before the silence took hold
Now all that's left is the echo of your soul

I sat by your side as you faded away
Four days of whispers but nothing to say
You slipped through my fingers so far so near
How could I tell you all the words you should hear?

And every June it all comes crashing through
The grief that I carry the weight of losing you
No matter the years it won't let me go
Like the waves on that beach it's all I know
I wish I could hold you just one last time
Feel your hand in mine as the storm subsides

You were the one I could always lean on
But now you're gone and the days feel so long
Simple tasks bring me down to my knees
Your absence is a shadow that never leaves

I remember your smile your generous heart
But now there's this hole that's tearing me apart
If only for a moment we could turn back the clock
I'd say everything that I forgot

And every June it all comes crashing through
The grief that I carry the weight of losing you
No matter the years it won't let me go
Like the waves on that beach it's all I know
I wish I could hold you just one last time
Feel your hand in mine as the storm subsides

The grief it never fades
It's a storm that never breaks
But in the eye of the pain
I still call your name

And every June it all comes crashing through
The grief that I carry the weight of losing you
No matter the years it won't let me go
Like the waves on that beach it's all I know
I wish I could hold you just one last time
Feel your hand in mine as the storm subsides

But now you're the silence in the crashing sea
Gone from this world but never from me
And every June I still break
Like the storm on that beach with no escape
