This is a folk/pop song more characteristic of our side project, Saam & Dev, written for Beth Hartman.
lyrics
Are you coming back if you leave me?
Are you coming back when you leave town?
It was yesterday, your highs and lows that pulled me to the ground
Are you coming back or staying around?
Will you suffer ill if you are lonely?
Will you suffer ill if you are down?
It was yesterday, inside the throes that left me full unwound
Are you coming back, or staying around?
Oh, I don’t believe it
Oh, don’t say a word or make a sound
Is there something more you can tell me?
Is there something lost that can be found?
It was yesterday, when I arose, your words left to resound
“Are you coming back, or staying around?”
