lyrics

Mikey
Now Mikey could climb trees he played in the forest, he laughed and he talked to the sun
He rode on his horse, he rode on his bike, he thought he came from the stars
Yes Mikey would dream at night, dream of a special light shining down from the sky
Oh Mikey why did you have to go and leave me all alone, I promised I'd not say a word
Oh Mikey how could I have known

One morning so early dear Mikey went walking, a long long way he did go
Finally he stopped he knew not how he got there, to him it seemed all like a dream
Now Mikey looked down and saw there before him a hole so deep in the ground
He raised up his arms as he started to fall, he smiled and whispered good bye
Oh Mikey why did you have to go and leave me all alone,
We could have been best friends forever having so much fun
Please come back Mikey, stay with me, won't you be my friend
I promised I'd not say a word
Oh Mikey how could I have known, come back...

The Sitting
by Mikail Graham

"an interesting composer/musician/producer, Mr. Graham's soundscapes reach into another time and place filled with chance moments leaning towards an ambient sound, but with an edge." The Young Penguins
