Music Prompt #43: “Someday We’ll Linger” by Gaelynn Lea

Hello Ladies and Gents!

This week we have the pleasure of drawing inspiration from Gaelynn Lea, a talented artist from Duluth, MN. Her magnetic voice and haunting sound drew me in initially. Then I heard her story

.

SOMEDAY WE’LL LINGER IN THE SUN (Lyrics)

Our love’s a complex vintage wine
All rotted leaves and lemon rind
I’d spit you out but now you’re mine

We bit the fruit, it seemed a lie
I’ll never know which way was right
Now side by side we face the night

And I love you
And I love you

We walked the pier and back again
It was the most scared I’ve ever been
You held my hand until the end

And I love you
And I love you

Don’t tell me we’ve got time
The subtle thief of life
It slips away when we pay no mind

We pulled the weeds out til the dawn
Nearly too tired to carry on
Someday we’ll linger in the sun

And I love you
And I love you

Written by Gaelynn Lea
