Like It Always Was

(album: DNA - 2023)

I saw a shimmering white light
And for a second I was so close
I thought that I could feel you
It felt like coming home
A closet filled with memories
With a sand of dust and old
A faded sweater, an empty bottle
A label white with gold

So hold your head up high again
And take a bow
Feel the applause
Let the stage be filled with light
Do it one more time
Just like it always was
Just like it always was

Forgotten words and melodies
Songs I used to know
Splintered in my memory
And meant for letting go
I saw you when I closed my eyes
You were dancing in my dream
Your hair was different
Your clothes were wrong
You were singing just for me

So hold your head up high again
And take a bow
Feel the applause
Let the stage be filled with light
Do it one more time
Just like it always was
Just like it always was
