I'll be the other hand that always holds the line Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine I'm strung out on that wire

Artist- Nickel Creek
Song of the day- When you come back down

Perhaps my most favorite goodbye song of all time is from one of my most favorite now broken up groups of all time, the very blue grassy nickel creek. It's sad but sweet with just the right amount of hot mandolin playing and heavenly harmonies that make me miss the band and pretty much everyone i've had to say goodbye to. The one's that stay in your heart even after they're gone, the ones you've hugged and partied with in the good times and cried with even over the phone in the bad times. The ones you know you will always be there for in the ups and downs. To the goodbyes you never let go of in your heart, this one is for you.



You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire

And I'll be on the other end, To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly, If you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall

[Bridge:]
Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare

I'll still be there
When you come back down
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
