lyrics

They came and took us from our beds
I didn’t know what was happening
I was 8 years old

I couldn’t even say goodbye
I was told that there was not much time
As we stepped into the cold

Until we were long gone
Until were long gone
til we were

They marched us down the road
further from my home

I stepped onto that plane
sat down and saw your face
that’s how 11 years go by

Honey I won’t leave you here,
honey I won’t leave this place,
until we’re both long gone

Just a little while longer by dear,
know that I will always be here
until we’re long gone

Until we were long gone
until were long gone
til we are

They tried to get inside my mind,
but my heart is where I draw the line,
I was 8 years old

I didn’t understand their words,
so they took me out, put me to work,
but I saw your face

That’s how 11 years go by
picturing those quiet smiles
my dear

That’s how 11 years go by
picturing a gentle life
my dear

Honey I won’t leave you here,
honey I won’t leave this place,
until we’re both long gone

Just a little longer by dear,
know that I will always be here
until we’re both long gone

Until we’re both long gone
Until we’re both long gone
Until we are…

about

Aysanabee Toronto, Ontario

Aysanabee’s voice introduces himself in a way that words cannot. Solemn and soaring, backed by a swirling blend of indie, soul and electronic soundscapes, mournful saxophone and pulse-quickening finger-picking, Aysanabee’s striking sound is equal parts hypnotic and melodic. ... more
