Entry 009 – We’ll Meet Again Someday (song)

My pa’s old drinking song.

It isn’t a sad song, it’s hopeful.

He wasn’t an angry drunk either, he got sloppy and lovey-dovey and the only complaint from my sister was that she’d have to mop up his spillages when he was done.

I never thought things would turn out this way.

We’ll meet –again- someday,
So don’t you go –a-getting- blue,
Don’t know when, and I don’t know where, but I know,
Every road, will lead me back to you.

Tell my -old friends- back home,
I was singing -this song- out loud,
And was laughing about all the things we’ll do,
Hugging you, I will be back, I vowed.

I have –no special- sense
But I trust –that- new skies will come,
Dark and grey- will -not last forever, you’ll see,
Until then, this song is what I will hum

Time –will- pass too quickly
But I know –that- we must be strong,
Wise and cautious, and ne-ver fear for too long,
True hearts can never truly be wrong.

Carry-on –as- if I were there,
Tell me stor-ies -of pranks and fun,
Write me letters about all the good times you had,
And stomp your hooves, you’ll never be outdone.

And when I –fin-ally come home,
We will party, from dusk til’ dawn,
And will sing this bright song,
With all of our hearts…

We’ll.
Meet.
Again.
Someday.

So don’t cry.
Don’t sigh.
Smile.
And make others smile too…

(Instrumental – 40secs)

We’ll meet –again- someday,
So don’t you go –a-getting- blue,
Don’t know when and I don’t know where, but I know,
Every road, will lead me back to you.

And when I –fin-ally come home,
We will party, from dusk til’ dawn,
And will sing this bright song,
With all of our hearts…

We’ll meet –again- someday,
So don’t you go –a-getting- blue,
Don’t know when and I don’t know where, but we will,
Every road, will lead me back to you.

Tell my -old friends- back home,
I was singing -this song- out loud,
And was laughing about all the things that we’ll do,
Hugging you, I will be back, I vowed.

We’ll meet –again- someday,
So don’t you go –a-getting- blue,
Don’t know when and I don’t know where, but I know,
Every road, will lead me back to you.

And when I –fin-ally come home,
We will party, from dusk til’ dawn,
And will sing this bright song, With all of our hearts.
Every gold road, leads me right back to you, baby.

Song for this chapter: Marble Machine by Wintergatan

Since I’m not a song writer but I wanted songs in this, I wrote songs against pieces of music that I liked but that did not already have set lyrics, such as ‘Sophia’ and this one. In my head, the song has more of a jazzy beat to it and plays nicely against a horn. There's likely to be more songs that come in to the story as I continue to write.

Thank you again for reading up to this moment. Ask me anything.
If this is when you leave us, goodbye and safe travels.

If you're still strapped in for the ride, see you in the next chapter.

All good things,
Duskhoof
