lyrics

You are the firmament
I am impermanent
I'll write a eulogy but you are the remedy

If only they knew the path that passed behind you
Another waiting room, another world to pass through
Another double-door, another form in your hands
Another box to sign to say you understand

And I just sit there, upon a plastic-y chair
Next to a windowpane, gives the illusion of air
And as the hours pass, I do the best that I can
I offer platitiudes while holding out my hand.

You are the firmament
I am impermanent
I'll write a eulogy but you are the remedy
When I'm inconsoloable, you help to solve it all
I'll write a eulogy but you are the remedy

There is a memory that I could never replace
Of the resilience, as it was etched on your face.
When it brings me down some days, you tolerate the absurdity with which I justify my every word.

Good Days
by Beats & Pieces Big Band

Beats & Pieces are a Manchester jazz institution, and their latest record is special. We're a bit biased though, 'cause our very own Emily (Baritone Sax) and Graham (Trumpet) are on it. AGBEKO
