about

This song is in loving memory of Grayson Minney.

I had the honor of knowing and becoming close with Grayson. He and I had plans to record an acoustic album together of songs we wrote together and call ourselves "Masters of the Living Room" - It was our inside joke, as I make mention in this song.

Unfortunately we never got to make that record together.

After a few days straight of no sleep following the loss of him in our lives this past week - I sat in an early morning and wrote this in its entirety and recorded it that same evening. Inspired by his goodwill and honest nature, it was hard, but I made musical edits the way I think he would have liked. I like to think of it as the song Grayson and I wrote together. Hopefully someday, I can record a version with the remaining members of Columbia Fields.

If anyone finds comfort from this song please share with your friends.

lyrics

WAITING FOR YOU

Integrity that I never knew
Till it came from you
A spine of stone and the world made sense

From present tense to past tense
Went your name in a moment
Can’t lose relevance

Even when the phones shut off
And when the power cuts out
Bus stops running through town
And the stores close down

I know you’re still trying to come back home
Still trying to come back home
I know you still have to pace these roads
Can’t escape these roads

We’ll be waiting for you
We’ll be waiting for you

20 years can come and go
We may never know
All the pain you went through

I’ll remind the world when the time is right
That you and I
Were masters of the living room

Even when the phones shut off
And when the power cuts out
Bus stops running through town
And the stores close down

I know you’re still trying to come back home
Still trying to come back home
I know you still have to pace these roads
Can’t escape these roads

We’ll be waiting for you
We’ll be waiting for you
It’s the love that you gave us
It’s the love that you gave us

We’re here for you
We’re here for you
It’s your love that changed us
It’s your love that changed us

Even when the phones shut off
And when the power cuts out
Bus stops running through town
And the stores close down

I know you’re still trying to come back home
Still trying to come back home
I know you still have to pace these roads
Can’t escape these roads

We’ll be waiting for you
We’ll be waiting for you

A friend for life we’re losing you
Nothing we can undo
Remember Grayson
We’re still waiting for you
