Never Make It Back

I needed a Christmas song for the holidays but of course my mind doesn't work that way. So I revived an old piano melody I made up decades back and added another verse to the dummy words I had used when playing the melody. I then changed the first line from "You came to me on a warm summer breeze" to "You came to me on a snowy Christmas eve." That's how Christmas songs are done at Ramble House. Then I asked Gavin O'Keefe to add some viola and I made a video of the song. But who could I get to sing this thing? I got it! Grogar!

NEVER MAKE IT BACK 

If you dare, here is the video with Grogar singing in swaddling clothes. Some have called it "creepy".

You came to me on a warm summer breeze

Then I watched you blow away

But now I’m lost without your guiding light

To help me through the night to the day

You said love was all we had

And that’s not enough to make you stay

But what if love is all there is

And you never make it back

You never make it back

You never make it back this way.

We tell ourselves there’ll always come a day

When things will work out just as planned

And so we wait and sacrifice the time

While all our dreams are built on sand

You said love was all we had

And that’s not enough to make you stay

But what if love is all there is

And you never make it back

You never make it back

You never make it back this way.
