Lyrics Song for Shae - Slowly Slowly

Song for Shae

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
