Song for Shae - Slowly Slowly

All the noise and then the quiet in the yard

All the lonely in the air from your still heart

Everybody gathers here on February 12

To say they needed all your beauty somewhere else

The anniversary dinner at your mums

I saw the sunlight in your hair in autumn

Your belly laughs, your giant eyes, your best friend

Four years old it’s just too much to comprehend

Shae I didn’t know you, but I feel I did somehow

'Cause I know all of your family and they talk about you and how

You were confident and beautiful — a shining little light

And something tells me that you’re watching over everyone tonight

The final photo in the album hits home

Your siblings standing with your mum at your gravestone

Well life is circles, seeds to trees that drop the fruit

And we are just at different times inside the loop

Shae I didn’t know you, but I feel I did somehow

'Cause I know all of your family and they talk about you and how

You were confident and beautiful — a shining little light

And something tells me that you’re watching over everyone tonight

Your niece is perfect and she looks just like you

She is talking now and she just turned two

Your brother, sister and your parents always say

That there’s so much of you alive in Zoe, Shae
