about

Delighted to be sharing Omen with you, my first new music in almost three years. This one's about the heartache of having to watch a friend go through a turbulent relationship, and being there for them when it all ends.

lyrics

She came in like a good omen,
Her secrets like satin sin.
You couldn’t see the hope that left me
As I saw you believe them.

You speak of her in visions;
Stepped out of the blue, a love so quick.
Tell me, is this true? Tell me, is this you?
And if it is…why is she it?

Chorus
Oh, it’s the way she goes,
Look twice before you cross that road.
It’s the way we go;
Live fast and die slow.

She came to you crying,
Didn’t mean to hurt you, it was all so quick.
Tell me, is this true? Tell me, is this you?
And if it is…why is she it?

Chorus

She came in like a good omen,
Then cracked you right on the pavement.
I couldn’t unsee the pieces all around me,
As I saw her leaving,
As I saw her leaving,
As I saw her leaving….
