What they told us

My best friend Beth moves to New Zealand next month. Fifteen years of Friday wines, festival tents, and her talking me off various ledges. She's chasing a dream job and a man we've all vetted and approved, damn him. I want a song for her leaving do that says: go, shine, and video call me every single Sunday.

The sort of thing a friend might send us

Read the lyrics: Fly, Beth, FlyIndie folk · Warm female vocals · Friendship farewell

Verse 1

Fifteen years of Friday wine and kitchen floors,you talking sense through all my slamming doors.Festival tents, the mud up to our knees,you always knew the words to calm my seas.

Verse 2

Now there's a job that's calling you out west,and a man we've vetted, damn him, he's the best.We checked his eyes, we checked he made you laugh,we're only letting go of half of half.

Chorus

So go on Beth, get on that plane and shine,take the dream and take that heart of mine.I'll be here waving till you're just a spark,go on and light up the other side of dark.But Sunday nights are ours, they don't get sold,you video call me, don't you let that go.

Verse 3

Who's going to talk me off the ledge you built?Who's going to know the shape of all my guilt?I guess I'll learn to do it on my own,with your voice coming crackling down the phone.

Chorus

So go on Beth, get on that plane and shine,take the dream and take that heart of mine.I'll be here waving till you're just a spark,go on and light up the other side of dark.But Sunday nights are ours, they don't get sold,you video call me, don't you let that go.

Bridge

Twelve hours ahead, you'll have Monday first,you tell me if the new world's quenched your thirst.I'll pour the wine to whatever time it is here,raise it to your face however small, however clear.

Final Chorus

So go on Beth, get on that plane and fly,you were never one for a long goodbye.I'll keep the tent poles, keep the Friday chair,keep a seat wherever we end up there.And Sunday nights are ours, they don't get sold,you video call me, don't you let that go.

Outro

Go on and shine, girl, shine so bright,call me Sunday, I'll be up all night.

Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Beth's came from fifteen years of shared moments and a new adventure. Yours will be built from whatever you tell us.
