The little things I cling to
Keeping you alive
I hold on to the little things
Were all these items in a store
I would not think to buy them
Now not much else means more
A cassette tape found in the attic
With your precious lovely voice
A yellow broken screwdriver
I wasn't given much a choice
A mug with coffee stains
I saw you hold a million times
How fragile were those moments
I was not prepared to hold this tight
A baseball and a bat, a slew of dvds
A collection of selections
Filling up space on my tv
Holding to the things you touched
They all say you're no longer here to hold
But I listen to you whisper in my dreams
so I can't believe what I am told

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
