Anyone - my latest song with #piano

A song about being at #BoardingSchool as a young child, wanting someone to come and give you a cuddle. #composition #FAWM2019

Lyrics

Anyone

1. A long time ago, I was sent away;
Little did they know of the price I'd pay.
Memories jump out at me,
No warning or protection.
feeling so bereft at being left
In a place with so little affection.

Chorus:

Is anyone coming?
Is anyone coming here?
Or must I lie alone?
Is anyone running
To hold me and dry these tears?
So far away from home!
"Don't cry," They said.
"Just lie in bed.
You must stay sleeping."
I just lay weeping.
Is anyone coming?
Is anyone coming here?
No-one's coming here with love.

2. I remember the time I had  the perfect dream;
Sister playing recorder, mum on the sewing machine.
Became aware I wasn't there.
Felt so alone on waking.
No words to tell why my tears fell -
Just the sound of a child's heart breaking.

Chorus:

Bridge:

Tell those who you love that they are dear to you,
Hold them close and let them know.
Tell them you'll miss them when they're not near to you,
Or they may think they're forgotten when they go.

Chorus

Coda:

Is anyone coming?
Is Anyone coming here?
Please someone, come here with love.
