Summerlands from Mimic by Mikey Mason

There’s a hole here in the atmosphere, the orbit of our lives
Where you used to be a constant every day.
There’s a sunbeam through the curtain, and it’s landed on the floor
And it’s waiting there for you to come and lay.

There’s toy there in the corner, there’s another in the hall,
And there’s more under the couch that you can count.
And there’s a lap that feels so empty, and a heart that feels so full,
And a foot under the covers waiting for someone to pounce.

Cause you’re somewhere in the Summerlands, playing in the sun
Chasing butterflies and birds, where you can climb and you can run
Out beyond a rainbow bridge, your spirit had to soar,
So you’re only here in memories, anymore.
You’re only here in memories, anymore.

I still see you in the doorway from the corner of my eye,
In the kitchen, in the bedroom, down the hall,
I still feel you in the morning, nuzzled up against my head,
But when I open up my eyes, you’re not there at all.

Cause you’re somewhere in the Summerlands, playing in the sun
Chasing butterflies and birds, where you can climb and you can run
Out beyond a rainbow bridge, your spirit had to soar,
So you’re only here in memories, anymore.
You’re only here in memories, anymore.

Someday I hope to see you again,
Rub my hands along your tail, give you skritches on your chin.
A head bump and a belly rub, a slow blink and a purr,
I still feel the softness of your fur.

For now I’m feeling lonely and alone,
Sad that I have lost you, happy to have known
The special bond we shared, every moment, every day.
I’ll miss you in so many different ways.

But you’re out there in the Summerlands, playing in the sun
Chasing butterflies and birds, where you can climb and you can run
Out beyond a rainbow bridge, your spirit had to soar,
So you’re only here in memories, anymore.
You’re only here in memories, anymore.
