Emma Azelborn 2021
“I wrote this chorus after a joyous musical reunion with dear friends, when we had just begun seeing each other again after the isolation of early covid. Finally, after so long singing to screens in empty rooms, we could sing harmonies together again.”

My friends we have traveled far to gather here today The light is dim, the shadows long our time is slipping away Our voices blend so easily just like they always do As we join again in joyful song and let it bring us through Chorus: When we sing together it’s like we were never alone We want to forever believe our music will ring where green things grow We know it’ll fade so we sing ever stronger, fill up our hearts with home When we sing together it’s like we were never alone The air, how it shimmers as we sing in harmony And we can feel the floorboards shaking underneath our feet We lean against each other and pretend it’ll never end For we’ve built this song together and we’ll sing it once again No matter how much we try this moment cannot stay Our songs will turn to silence and we’ll go our separate ways The heartache it will have us as it ever has before Cause we cannot know where we will go or when we’ll meet once more And now when we’re in the world, the little things we see Can bring to mind our times gone by, the ghosts of harmony The rumbling train, the evening light, a warm cup of tea held near We all carry with us memories like those we’re making here
