Love is Here to Stay

from a secret life by Hemlock Smith

/

about

This song, written on my old Juno Synthesizer, became the signature track for this record; it's still the best "Ennio Morricone" guitar part we've ever achieved.

lyrics

LOVE IS HERE TO STAY



The moon is bright and I’m wide awake
Wandering through the gulf of my mistakes
Hours spent shouting with the crows
The meaning of it all, nobody knows

And I’m sitting here, mumbling through the play-

CH
Love is here to stay
Love is here to stay so the angels say
Love is here to stay
Love is here to stay so the angels say-
Mr. Undertaker, carry me away….

On a silent shore talking to the moss
Here I stand alone, nothing gained but loss
With the sky so wide like the gates of fear
In this universe, oh what a little sphere

The lilies in the field slowly fade to grey-

CH
