Year of Song #3:  “Wherever love roams”

Here’s a product of my recent globetrotting.  Came up with the idea in Vietnam, finished it up at uncle’s house in Manila.  It’s a bit more romantic-y and supportive than usual…these past two weeks some of my good friends have had really tough times, so the sentiment of this song came from that, just the want to be there for them in way I could.  So I wrote this song, and hopefully it brings you some comfort as well.

This is the third in my weekly song series, Year of Song, in which I’ll be recording and posting one song a week till August 2011.  Sign up for my mailing list at andrewplan.com and you’ll be notified as soon as the week’s song is up, along with a link to the direct download of the song.

Till next week…

if ever you get to the river and manage to outswim the fire
just know as we lie on the cool cool grass, i’ll follow you wherever love roams

if ever your heart starts to falter, and your body too weakened to care
just know that time will let your mind go, i’ll follow you wherever love roams

no i don’t know what awaits us, or if this field will grow
just keep this inside and don’t let it die, i’ll follow you wherever love roams
i’ll be there, wherever love roams

rain hits the back of your best dress, the letter left you unprepared
i’m holding your hand but you don’t understand, these words will remain undeclared

no i don’t know what to tell you, or what kind of seeds to sow
just keep this inside and don’t let it die, i’ll follow you wherever love roams
i’ll be there, wherever love roams

and i feel your light inside, it’s bursting forth through newborn air
and i wish you all the best, but i don’t want you to believe in me
no, i need you to believe in you

whenever you wait by your window, to catch one more glimpse of the dream
i soar through the trees and the air that you breathe, i’m your shelter, wherever you go

no i don’t know what awaits us, or what kind of seeds to grow
just keep this inside and don’t let it die, i’ll follow you wherever love roams
i’ll be there, wherever love roams
