We videoed an intimate version of “The Love You Gave Away” at a park in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, with three GoPro cameras view publisher site. Enjoy!
Here’s what composer Erik Yates had to say about this song:
“I sing this song for my father, Fred Yates, whom I lost last November, for all those who helped take care of him during his long illness, and for all who show up and stand by the ones they love in times of duress.”
THE LOVE YOU GAVE AWAY -Erik Yates
If you wake up this morning and you can’t see on your left side
Look to your right – that’s where I’ll be
There’s nothing in this world that you would be denied
If they left it up to me
If you wake up this morning and you can’t lift up your left hand
Reach out your right, take hold of mine
When I pull you to your feet you gotta make your stand
It’s no use now waiting for a sign
Look around, it ain’t that bad / The love you gave away is comin’ back
Look around, the day’s all new / The love you gave away . . . is gonna see you through
I don’t care what has been or what has come before
If it won’t help us now
You’ve got to join the world outside your bedroom door
I’ve got to show you how
I know how hard it gets when you can’t see the light
But it’s shinin’ down on you as bright as day
Put it on now like an overcoat, keep out the night
Let it help you on your way.
Lay down, oh, lay down, be still now as the rain
Your mind is troubled, but your heart is beatin’ time
Stay with me even though I cannot stop the pain
I believe that I can ease your mind
