lyrics

TOGETHER AGAIN
Words and Music by Ali Matthews - May 21, 2020

Yesterday the sky was grey, you know I just stayed in bed
Weaving this hysteria that’s been spinning in my head
I fell into the sweetest dream, I wished it would never end
A dream that we’re together again

My solitude has morphed into a euphoric misery
Heavy hopes are hanging like the blossoms on a tree
Much is lost at such a cost, but there’s a light we cannot see
Until we’re back together again

My lonely heart is locked inside
I might laugh or I might cry
I find it hard to concentrate and I don’t know why

When this is through I’ll run to you like fire through dry grass
Hand in hand we’ll take a stand with these lessons from the past
It’s been so long but love is strong
and the darkness never lasts
and we’ll be back together again

When huggers all can hug again
and friends will gather near
we’ll meet on Bentley’s patio for a pint of beer

When this is through I’ll run to you like fire through dry grass
Hand in hand we’ll take a stand with these lessons from the past
It’s been so long but love is strong
and the darkness never lasts
and we’ll be back together again
Yes we’ll be back together again
We’ll all be back together again
