We lost my son at 19 weeks. He was coming early, and after a long night of trying there was simply nothing that could keep it from happening. I sang to him as his kicks grew slower and weaker, and when he finally came out, he was already gone. And he did look just like my son. Redder, smaller, with eyelids fused, but with the same fingers and toes and heart of my other children. And I count myself blessed that I can come home from work and see them standing there, alive and smiling. But I never forget the emotional onslaught of the night, and the emotionless anguish of the morning after I couldn't save the one.

Your children are a part of you. When your parents die, you were a part of them, they live on in you. But when your children die, the part of your heart that expanded to be filled with your love for them is amputated, crushed, destroyed. All that they could have been, gone from this world, and you despair for their lost life and the things they will never get to discover and be surprised and amazed by. The morning after, there is nothing new for you under the sun, and you feel guilty for seeing the sunrise because the one the dawn was made for does not get to see it.

I live on in hope that I will see my son again, and that where he is now, he is free.

"I'll save you, I promise this time"
Favorite line

Choked!

Hadn't picked up on the meaning of this song until recently. My heart is in pieces! Being the very lucky and blessed father of two fine sons, my wife and I have suffered the tragedy of miscarriages in the past, but never 'this'. Love to all coping and coming to terms with this loss, my thoughts will forever be with you.

Meg has a great understanding of the human condition and sings from the heart. As a man, I cherish her empathy and experiences of womankind, and hope it helps make me a better man. Luv ya kiddo 💘

I think it's about her reminiscing who she once was before him, the beast, tore her, she is ashamed, but she is trying to bring herself up again. Sometimes we miss our youth, who we used to be before all the things we regret.

[Hisyoruichi]

This song holds such a special place in my life and has gotten me through some dark dark nights after my ectopic pregnancy. "The lions and bears tearing you from my side..." My dr that preformed the surgery was Dr. Lyons

[MiSYF]

I've been listening to this song for years. Two days ago I had to put my baby kitty to sleep, to bring her suffering to an end after she bravely fought against cancer. Today I can't help but thinking that the lyrics perfectly fit : the feeling of powerlessness, restless mind, guilt, numbness after this final and irreversible deed, and not being able to tell anyone as most people cannot relate to the grief of losing a loved animal.

Farewell my baby love, I hope you're now chasing birds and sleeping with the marigolds. I held you when it was time. And I pray you don't fear the animals, I'll save you I promise this time. ❤

[ThethDaisy]

This song reached such a deep place within me that I cried with it all through the night.

[chelseasimmons]

such a beautiful sad song, makes me cry every time. I read it was about a lover, but for me it's about the loss of a child.

[Oleg-ushko]

Meg Myers DESERVE to be happy. Deserve NOT FOR her talent... but JUST deserve... Deserve, because she are exist... She is THE BEST woman in this world.

[Maiden_to_mother]

It wasn’t until today that I understood this song. Today I was thinking about my abortion - I often refuse to allow myself to be sad because.. I did it, it was my choice. Today, thinking about it, this song came on and I cried for the first time since my abortion (over a year) I dream of her - always a girl. Of course, for those who have lost their child who was with them here in life, I’m so sorry. My sob story doesn’t compare.

To the women who can read this comment and relate - your feelings are valid. Cry as much as you need to.

Trying to interpret this song IS like trying to interpret a Dream. Brilliant.

The day my cat died, I was so shocked that I didn't shed a tear. The next day I was driving along the highway and this song started playing. I remembered how kind and affectionate she was. She died on August 2, just like my father 33 years ago. Who knows, maybe his soul in the body of a cat returned to our family for a short time. I was driving along the highway at 120 kilometers per hour, and tears were covering my eyes. I had to make an effort not to cry, because I couldn't see the road. This song is very sad, but such sadness probably cleanses the soul.

Meg has a wicked lot of awesome tunes.  New CD is nice also. Hope there is more to wish and feel good from listening to her.

[chrismonterola]

She needs to go on tour (especially to Minnesota!)

[thomasnation]

I will make a shadow when you rest in the secret place of the Most High.

[themartian]

A girl I love showed me this song awhile ago, don't know why I keep coming back to it. But this reminds me of her and her struggle. It hurts.

[NurseBren]

Listening for the first time, wow. I'm in love with your voice and message. Rock on woman!

I couldn't sleep last night
There were lions and bears tearing you from my side
I couldn't sleep last night
How you look like my daughter
It's burnt in my mind

And I can't feel anything the morning after you
And I can't tell anyone the morning after you

I couldn't sleep last night
You were chasing the birds till the beast caught your eye
I couldn't sleep last night
How you look like an angel
It's burnt in my mind

I can't feel anything the morning after you
I can't tell anyone the morning after you

And I hope you sleep with a merry gold
I hope you win it this time
And I pray you don't fear the animals
I'll save you, I promise this time

I couldn't sleep last night
There were lions and bears tearing you from my side
I couldn't sleep last night
How you look like my daughter
It's burned in my mind

I can't feel anything the morning after you
I would give anything
