about

My contribution to the 2019 Wizard Rock Sampler! This song is from Hermione's point of view, and the title is from a quote by Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables.

lyrics

Making our way through the snow
Erasing our footprints as we go
Looking for people buried here
The night is cold; the air is clear

I think of the hopes from long ago
Buried beneath the layers of snow here

I miss my parents more than ever tonight
But I cannot deny you your right
To mourn your own this Christmas Eve
I'm by your side to help you grieve

I find the place where the Potters have lain
Ever since the night they were slain

Their time was short upon this earth
Yet, with their deaths, they proved their worth
I wonder if this is all there is
To meet, to love, to lose, to miss

I lay a wreath upon the grave
Of the parents who died to save you

Who can tell what could have been?
The possible past is forever unseen
What does the future have in store for me?
The path is tangled, as far as I see

As we turn to walk away
I close my eyes, begin to pray:

For all the lost souls searching tonight
Let them have some welcome respite
Bring them home, wherever they be
Oh, bring him home, home to me

I'm a long-time wizard rock fan who occasionally writes melancholic wizard rock songs. Some debuted on the free wizard rock samplers, but here I've collected all my songs in one place.
