There’s a history beneath the skyline
Of downtown city lights
It’s like I’m walking in her footsteps
And I’ve traveled back in time
I could hear her laugh a mile away
And see her eyes light up the sky
She was happy and carefree
And didn’t know love was so close by
Flash forward I’m standing where she stood
As her voice echoes in the streets
A new place I’ve never been before
But there’s a sense of familiarity
Walk past my reflection in a window
And I see her standing in my place
I put my hand up to the glass
And I’m looking at her face
We follow music notes down Broadway
Drinking whiskey and moonshine
Talking and laughing with everyone
Like somehow frozen in time
The night was clear the stars were out
We brought the California weather
Caught up in the moment and then I blinked
And found a single white feather
One place connecting two worlds
The city of music speaks in many ways
There’s such a strong connection here
Like we’re on the same page
Like mother like daughter time is infinite
There’s no distance in time and space
Following a trail of feathers
Of her footsteps in this place
Mesmerized by the city’s vibes
Though the bright lights and busy streets
In the midst of the competing bands
I know she’s right here with me
Love always,
Lainey
