þreytt sál (original)
I will be uploading a newer version of this, once I can get through it without welling up! A song to my puppy who I miss very much, and for anyone who has lost. Just to clarify, this is not Teddy the puppy in my previous videos, Millie died about 2 years ago.
þreytt sál is Icelandic for Tired Soul.
Lyrics:
Remember golden summer grass
Our years went on like they would last forever
Giving up all we could do
We knew the light would see us through for now
As the time gets longer still
Every second makes me feel such pressure
Upon my chest and fragile bones
I will not stop running till I'm home
Don't look at me like that
Not ever, not yet
And I know you've come so far
You've worked so hard
It's alright
Don't you cry
I'll be right here
And if a guide is what you seek
Your eyes will grow weak
Let them close
Let it go
I'll be right here you know
Raking in the effervesce
No more precious moments left to chance
Everything that I can do
Will not let one second leave my grasp
Why is life an hourglass
With finite specks of incubated sand
Let's be like desert friend
And let the sands of time flow through our hands
Don't look at me like that
Not ever, not yet
And I know you've come so far
You've worked so hard
It's alright
Don't you cry
I'll be right here
And if a guide is what you seek
Your eyes will grow weak
Let them close
Let it go
I'll be right here you know
