10. Come Near Me
(Heikkilä-McGowan)

This was a nice sad orvot melody from a decade ago. Many minor chords - I love those things! I asked Davy to write words for it some months ago for Tarja to sing. This is what he send. Tarja didn't think her voice would match for the song well, but I think it's just fine. --Jore

Lyrics look like an outtake from Brother Sun Sister Moon now that I see them written down. I love Tarja's voice - always have - and she sounds great on this. I promised to write her some 'happier' songs for next time. --Davy

Soft and gentle blows the morning breeze
Birds are singing in the sunlit trees
All around I see the magic of life
Now that you are near me

As I walk among the summer fields
I can smile again as heartache heals
All around I see the magic of life
Now that you are near me

Give me your hand
As we walk along the sand
Come near me
