about
For Emma :) I was so sad that you were leaving me, even if just for a while!
lyrics
Take me away with you
I would and if I could
Send me off there too
Instead of trying to act
Naturally, you’re going away
You leave me here in much the same
Reminders of the times we shared
But I won’t be sad, and I won’t be scared
But I’ll miss your eyes across from mine
And how sad they look in this candle’s light
And I’ll keep myself composed in the wake of your
Departure so you don’t hesitate and
Think I’m not as strong as you
But you know me and you know that I’ll wait
By the telephone, I lay awake
And shudder at the thought that you won’t
Make it through to me tonight
When darkness falls and I need a light
A beam of light to get me through
And I’ll grab on tight until I come on by you
I would and if I could
Send me off there too
Instead of trying to act
Naturally, you’re going away
You leave me here in much the same
Reminders of the times we shared
But I won’t be sad, and I won’t be scared
But I’ll miss your eyes across from mine
And how sad they look in this candle’s light
And I’ll keep myself composed in the wake of your
Departure so you don’t hesitate and
Think I’m not as strong as you
But you know me and you know that I’ll wait
By the telephone, I lay awake
And shudder at the thought that you won’t
Make it through to me tonight
When darkness falls and I need a light
A beam of light to get me through
And I’ll grab on tight until I come on by you

about
Brian Taguchi Kingston, Ontario
Brian Taguchi lives in Kingston, on the other side of the university from the hospital where he was born. Growing up, many
hours were spent in the basement learning, playing, writing, recording and mixing music...This where the action still happens - when the candle is lit.
Introspective and narrative, Brian hangs out in the gray zone between advocating and mourning, ambition and uncertainty..
